Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine which originated in China some 5000 years ago. It is a system of healing that views health as the balanced flow of an individual's 'life energy', or Qi. Acupuncturists help move Qi along pathways, called meridians, which connect various organs and systems within the body. Traditional acupuncture relies on the insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points.
