Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a system of healing based on balancing the body’s life force energy know as Qi. Qi flows along channels throughout the body known as meridians, channels similar to the nervous and circulatory systems. An imbalance in the body’s energy may result in distress signals in the form of symptoms. Treating the person’s basic constitution as well as alleviating the symptoms is part of the treatment plan. Using thin, sterile, disposable needles, the acupuncturist inserts the needs along specific points of the meridian pathways to help balance and unblock the flow of Qi.
