Acupuncture Treatment

 

Acupuncture treatment consists of inserting thin, fine needles through the skin on specific points on the body along specific channels running through the body. Acupuncture is a key element of Chinese Medicine, where over nearly 5,000 years this medical science has mapped out these points and channels; determining which points and channels will best address specific conditions.

 

Skilled practitioners understand the complex relationship of these points and channels. Through this understanding acupuncture, when properly applied, stimulates qi (chee) which can be thought of as energy flow throughout the body.  Restoring qi, is at the foundation of healing.

 

Acupuncture can produce amazing results, It is  affordable and commonly covered by insurance.
