How can acupuncture help me?
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese medicine. Here are some of its practical principles and methods:
- Fourteen major energy channels called meridians course through the human body including the head, arms, hands, legs, feet, torso, and internal organs.
- A subtle energy called Qi (pronounced chee) circulates via the meridians to all parts of the body, even the most remote cells. Its balanced, unimpeded flow is critical to sound health.
- Misdirection, blockage, build-up, or other imbalance of Qi may result in pain, dysfunction, and illness.
- Acupuncture stimulates points along the meridians to restore and strengthen the body’s balance.
