Acupuncture FAQ
What is Acupuncture?
Traditional Oriental Medicine, which includes Acupuncture as well as Chinese herbal medicine, is one of the oldest forms of medicine in use today, and is regularly used by over a quarter of the worlds population.
The practice of acupuncture is literally thousands of years old, and is based on a system of pathways in the body known as acupuncture "channels" or "meridians," which when manipulated by the placement of needles, can regulate and enhance health. Acupuncture points are stimulated to affect these energetic pathways which can become blocked or imbalanced, causing pain, weakness, restricted motion, emotional or mental issues, and disease.
