Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an important component of Traditional Chinese medicine used in the prevention and treatment of disease. It was developed in China over 2,500 years ago and was based upon the principle that there was the pattern of Qi through the body, which was essential for good health. There are 14 major Qi pathways, (meridians) which are connected with specific internal organs/ systems. By inserting fine needles (only about three times the thickness of a human hair and much finer than the hypodermic needles used to give injections) at specific points (acupoints) within the meridian system, the energy is rebalanced. The needles cause only minor sensation, like a small prick, as the needle is inserted. Then, your practitioner stimulates the needle, causing you to feel some more sensation. Your practitioner will provide personal care during the treatment to be sure the procedure is comfortable for you.
