What Is Acupuncture?

Chinese Medicine is a five-thousand-year-old system of medicine. Acupuncture is one part of this system of medicine. It is based on the principles in movement of energy (QI) and blood (xue) through the body.

The energy and blood that circulates, flows in meridians, or channels that are located all over the body. Much like the energy that flows along an electrical circuit, energy, and blood flow along meridians.

Restore Balance & Function

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine needles at acupuncture points along meridians to generate responses in the body. The basic principle of health is to get blood and nutrients in, and toxins and waste products out.

Acupuncture works to facilitate this process by removing blockages along meridians that prohibit the free flow of energy and blood, restoring balance and function back into the body.
