Acupuncture
Acupuncture originated in China over 2,000 years ago. The literal meaning of Acupuncture is "needle piercing." As the name suggests, the procedure of acupuncture involves penetrating the skin with solid, metallic needles that are very thin. Acupuncture has grown in popularity & is regarded as a safe & effective treatment for a variety of conditions.
According to Chinese medicine, the body transmits energy or Qi (Chi) through pathways or meridians in the body. The unimpeded flow of this energy, along with a balanced Yin & Yang, account for a person's overall health. Acupuncture targets more than 2,000 acupuncture points along these pathways to ensure the proper flow of energy through the body.
