Acupuncture is one of the eight branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that is based on an energetic model. Acupuncture enhances the body’s natural healing abilities to balance internal disharmonies and create a state of well being. TCM is a complete medical system that dates back over 4000 years. A board certified physician will insert very fine disposable surgical grade stainless steel needles at specific anatomically located acupuncture points. These acupuncture points are on energetic pathways called meridians that transverse the surface of the body. These needles act as a conduit to help facilitate the body’s natural energy force referred to as “Qi” (pronounced “chee”).

Qi is considered to be the foundation of all life:

• Organizes
• Regulates
• Sustains all tissue
• Functions all processes of the body

Having a specific combination of acupuncture points needled on a regular basis helps to restore, strengthen and recuperate your body from: acute, chronic conditions or for preventative healthcare.
