is a 5000-year
old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which involves
insertion of
fine needles into the body's surface. The purpose
of reatment is to regulate the body's
energy system known as Qi (pronounced Chee) in order
to treat and/or reduce symptoms of pain, disease or
illness. Qi flows within the body through all organs
and vessels in
pathways called meridians.
Acupuncture can treat
many conditions some of which include acute and chronic
pain of the body,
such as the back, knee, ankle, neck and shoulder, numbness
of limbs, sports
and overuse injuries, arthritic conditions, digestive
problems, menstrual
disorder,menopause,
skin conditions, insomnia,
stress and emotional disturbances.
Acupuncture helps when
pain begins but can
also be used as a
preventative method to
regulate your Qi, before pain
arrives.
