ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that originated in Ancient China over 5,000 years ago. The Ancient Chinese discovered that every living being has energy that flows through invisible meridians (energy lines) throughout the body. This energy, known as "Qi" is the motive life force. In healthy individuals the Qi flows smoothly through the channels/ meridians. Imbalance in the flow of Qi results in pain, illness and/or disease.
The same basic principles are used in treating various conditions, today. Acupuncture can be used a sole method of treatment, but also works well as an adjuct therapy.
Acupuncture stimulates the bodies natural healing properties in order to treat the root cause of an illness/disease, not just the symptoms.
