Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, to promote natural healing and restore balance. According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by regulating the flow of energy, or “Qi” (pronounced “chee”), through pathways in the body called meridians. When this energy flow is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to pain or illness. By stimulating precise points, acupuncture helps restore this balance. Acupuncture is commonly used to address a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, stress, headaches, and musculoskeletal and digestive issues, while also promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
