What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is one of the many modalities under Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).   The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow called Qi (chee) running throughout the body and are essential for maintaining health.  Whenever these  patterns of energy  are disrupted, pain and disease can occur.

Anything from surgery to stress can disrupt energy flow in the body.  Anytime there is a cut or any type of trauma, energy flow is blocked and pain will occur.  In addition, stress and emotional issues can have a major effect on energy flow.  Whenever your body experiences a stressful condition or emotions such as grief or anger, communication between the organs and the different physiological systems is compromised resulting in chronic illness.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, sterilized needles into specific parts of the body to resolve illness, alleviate pain, and to promote balance and wellness.  Whenever the body is in a balanced state, healing can occur.  Acupuncture allows your body to heal itself!
