Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine describes the body as an energy-flow system, similar in concept to Western Medicine’s nervous or blood system. Over 2000 years, the Chinese mapped the pathways (meridians) in which energy flows along the body, accurately recognizing electrically-sensitive acupoints which can influence the flow. According to Chinese Medicine, illness arises from an imbalance or a blockage in the flow of life’s energy (Chi), and the purpose of treatment is to remove blockages to help the body heal.

Acupuncture uses the insertion of fine needles into various parts of the body. The needles stimulate acupoints to restore and balance the flow of chi, relieve pain, and treat a variety of chronic, acute, and degenerative conditions.

Your first visit will include a Chinese medical examination and a questionnaire, after which the acupuncturist will choose the most appropriate treatment for you. Acupuncture needles are very fine, and most people experience no pain and often find treatments very relaxing.
