Acupuncture is an ancient healing tradition that began in China over 3,000 years ago. It emphasizes balance in the organ systems and a harmonious flow of ‘qi’ or energy in the body. This energy flows throughout the body in ‘meridians’ or channels, and can become disrupted from illness or stress. Acupuncture treatments involve careful placement of sterile, single-use solid needles at various points in the body. Each of these points has a special function and can access different organ systems and channels.
Acupuncture can be used to treat many conditions - it is very helpful for pain management, sleep disorders, fatigue, addiction, mood disorders, menstrual disorders and gastrointestinal issues.
