Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a complex branch of ancient Chinese medicine. It is based on the concept of a vital energy called Qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi travels along 14 main paths, called channels or meridians. Illness or pain occurs when this energy flow is blocked or weakened. Stimulating points along the meridian restores the balance of energy flow in the body, helping to relieve pain and promote wellness.

Studies have found that acupuncture somehow stimulates the body’s natural protective and pain-fighting systems. Studies have also shown that brain activity is increased, the immune system is boosted and pain-fighting endorphins and peptides are released.

Each point has a predictable effect upon the vital energy passing through it. Acupuncture stimulates specific points of the body, restores the circulation of Qi, and promotes a balanced state of health.
