What EXACTLY is acupuncture?
Acupuncture treatment involves inserting fine stainless steel needles into the muscle or skin on certain body parts. The general theory is that vital life energy known as “qi,” pronounced “chee,” flows around your body through different channels called “meridians.”
Specialists believe that a traffic jam in the flow of qi will result in illness or pain. When performing acupuncture, a practitioner stimulates a combination of more than 2,000 acupuncture points, correcting the flow of qi to relieve one’s symptoms.
People have been using acupuncture for many years to treat a wide range of conditions, including:
-Pain following surgery
-Headache
-Neck pain
-Knee pain
-Lower back pain
-Dental pain
