Acupuncture is a part of a holistic medical system stemming from China over 3,000 years ago. It remains the most extensively used form of medicine in the world, and can effectively treat everything from back pain to hormonal imbalances.
More subtle than your circulatory system that regulates the flow of blood, nutrients, and hormones, your energy system orchestrates the flow of Qi or bioelectricity throughout your body. Pain and disease are always a result of this energy not flowing properly through these pathways.
Licensed acupuncturists are trained to identify imbalances in these channels and correct proper flow by using pressure, ultra-fine needles, magnets or herbs on specific points. By restoring the natural flow of energy, your body begins the process of healing itself, preventing illness and addressing physical, mental and emotional imbalances.
