What is acupuncture?

The practice of acupuncture is based on principles of Traditional Chinese Medical theory, which has a 5,000 year history of successfully diagnosing, treating and preventing illness.

Acupuncture involves inserting sterile, disposable needles at specific points in specific patterns, and using these needles to stimulate the body's natural ability to heal. No substance is injected into the body.

If appropriate, acupuncture will be combined with Chinese herbology and other methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

We all have a complex system of channels which flow through out our body distributing qi (energy or life force) to all of our tissues.

Health problems arise when there is an obstruction in the flow of life force or an imbalance in the bipolar components of this flow.

Acupuncture can increase circulation and decrease inflammation. Acupuncture restores the energetic balance in the body and stimulates the healing process.
