What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of very thin needles into certain acupuncture points that correspond to the patient’s health condition.
How Does It Work?
The theory behind acupuncture’s ability to treat pain and disease is based on an energetic model of the human body. Pain or disease occurs in the body when there is a deficiency or an imbalance of the energy in the meridians. Acupuncture points are specific locations along the meridians.
Over the centuries, it has been documented that the insertion of a very fine needle at a given point has a very predictable effect on the energy that passes through that point, restoring balance in the meridian.
The goal of an acupuncture treatment is to renew the healthy flow of Qi, restores and invigorates proper functions to balance the body. Modern science has been able to measure the electrical charge at these points, confirming the location of the meridians that were mapped out in ancient times.
