Ancient Practice for Modern Health
Acupuncture, a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been practiced for thousands of years. This ancient technique involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to balance energy flow, known as “Qi” (pronounced “chee”). We integrate acupuncture into our holistic approach to health, offering patients a natural path to healing and wellness.
Understanding Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based on the concept that the body’s vital energy, or Qi, flows through pathways called meridians. When this flow is disrupted, it can lead to illness or discomfort. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, practitioners aim to restore the proper flow of Qi, thereby promoting health and alleviating various conditions.
