ACUPUNCTURE

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and acupuncture has been used in China for over 2500 years. TCM and acupuncture continues to be the preferred medicine for the 1 billion people in China. Acupuncture is often preferred over the more invasive technique of surgery.

Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine involving the insertion of acupuncture needles into the skin at specific points on the body to achieve a therapeutic effect. No drug is injected. The needles alone create the beneficial effects of acupuncture.

Acupuncture is used to encourage natural healing, improve mood and energy, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. It is safe and effective and is often successfully used as an alternative to medications or even surgery. Relief is often obtained with acupuncture when traditional medical therapy has failed.

Acupuncture points are located on meridians in the body, through which vital energy (qi) flows. Needling specific acupuncture points can remove obstructions and improve the natural flow of qi or energy throughout the body.
