What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine single use sterile needles into specific points on the body.
The treatment and placement of needles are based upon Chinese theory that energy or QI as it’s known, flows throughout your body and illness or pain is a result of blocked Qi. The goal of acupuncture is to regulate and restore the energetic balance within the body.
