What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that involves inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body to promote natural healing and restore balance.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the body has an energy flow known as “Qi” (pronounced chee) that moves through pathways called meridians. When this energy flow is blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to illness or pain. Acupuncture helps stimulate these points to correct imbalances and support physical and emotional well-being.
Today, acupuncture is widely used around the world as a complementary therapy for pain relief, stress reduction, and overall wellness.
