WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture is a healing art that has been practiced for thousands of years. It has proven to help people by positively impacting physical and underlying systemic issues in the body and mind. As the body consists of different energy channels, stimulating specific acupuncture points on or near the surface of the skin on these channels can help trigger biochemical and physiological changes in the patient. Having an acupuncture practitioner who can understand where energy, or the body's "qi" (pronounced "chee"), is blocked and where it flows is key.
Acupuncture needles can help facilitate the movement of this energy in these channels. The needles are hair-thin but very powerful. They can loosen tight and painful muscles, boost organ function, decrease inflammation, remove blockages and stagnation, lift the spirit, improve circulation, digestion, absorption, hormone imbalances, neurological problems, and even increase T-cell count, supporting the immune system, and so much more.
