Acupuncture
What is
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years as a modality of traditional Chinese medicine. The human body is a harmonious balance of yin and yang. These two forces are opposing but depend on each other to keep the body healthy and balanced.
Energy called "Qi" ( pronounced chi) flows along pathways, known as meridians, throughout the body. The constant flow of energy keeps yin and yang in balance. When this energy becomes blocked, it causes disruption which can lead to pain, lack of function, or illness.
Acupuncture works by inserting thin needles into specific points on the body known as acu-points. Different techniques are then used to manipulate the needles which moves Qi and restore that balance throughout the body.
