Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that balances your energy (chi) and helps stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities.

HOW ACUPUNCTURE WORKS

Acupuncture works by correcting imbalances in the body’s pathways of energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), numerous ailments stem from imbalances in meridians connected to major organs, influencing the flow of Qi. Specific acupuncture points stimulation along these meridians reinstates equilibrium, prompting the body to activate its defenses and dispel stagnant energy.

From a modern perspective, acupuncture effectively mitigates pain and inflammation. Needles strategically placed at acupressure points induce blood flow and diminish inflammation at the treatment site. This makes acupuncture an excellent alternative treatment for chronic pain management.

Determining acupuncture treatment points involves diagnosing energy flow imbalances. Traditional diagnostic methods, including tongue and pulse analysis, pinpoint Qi imbalances. Each treatment induces a gradual reduction of symptoms and a profound sense of relaxation.
