Why Try Acupuncture?
Illnesses are caused by an imbalance which acupuncture can treat by using needles at specific points in the body to restore balance.
Acupuncture is an essential piece of traditional Chinese medicine that has been around for over 3,000 years. Acupuncturists study the Qi (pronounced “chi”) of the body, which is a circulating life force with a balance of positive and negative forms. To achieve good health, one’s Qi must be in balance. The Qi runs through and emanates from meridians in the body that are accessible through hundreds of acupuncture points. These points can trigger the body’s natural pain killers and rebalance Qi.
