What Is Acupuncture?

Traditional acupuncture originated in China about 5000 years ago and is a complex system of examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Acupuncture is a healing art and science which analyzes the entire human being in body, mind, and spirit.

The basic theory of acupuncture is based on a life force energy called Ch’i. The acupuncturist is trained to recognize the process of health and illness and works with herbs and needles to restore the flow of Ch’i. If the energy is not flowing properly, then there exists disharmony and imbalance. This is illness.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for countless ailments and symptoms, including, but not limited to, intestinal dysfunction, loss of energy, weight management, addiction, sleep disturbances, and musculoskeletal injury.

  • Muscle tightness

  • Fertility
