Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of healing in the world, and it is one of the main components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It works on the flow of energy, known as Qi, throughout the body along specific pathways. When this energy is flowing smoothly, the body is in balance and free of sickness. When the flow of energy is blocked, illness or pain appears.

Insertion of hair-thin needles in exact points balances the energy flow and allows the body to begin its own healing process. Acupuncture is most effective if treatment can be given at regular intervals over time because its effects are accumulative.
