What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapy developed in China that is over 2000 years old.
It involves the stimulation of acupuncture points by heat, pressure, or tiny needles. Stimulation of these points creates a physiological change in the body, which is described classically as “moving qi.” The Chinese term “qi” represents the energy which flows through the body in meridians and channels. Meridians have acupuncture points through which the qi is accessed. Acupuncture enhances qi and assists the body in its innate ability to heal itself.

Acupuncture needles are sterile stainless steel and single-use. The benefits received from acupuncture in terms of relaxation, freedom from illness, and pain-relief by far out weigh any apprehension patients may feel about the use of needles in this therapy.

Chinese Herbology is also based on thousands of years of study. Herbs are either plant, mineral or animal, and come from formulations out of the Chinese material medical.
Herbs may come in pill, granular, or bulk form, and are often administered to complement an acupuncture treatment.
