About Acupuncture
Originating in China, acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practiced in East Asian countries for thousands of years. Interest in this form of medicine has spread to the west, and currently over 8.2 million people in the United States use this form of treatment. Furthermore, it is well documented in many medical journals and is widely used in medical institutions throughout the country.

This ancient method of healing is based on natural laws influencing the movement of energy in nature and the body. This life force, called ch’i, flows through the body in channels, like rivers flowing through the earth. Health is promoted when the ch’i in the body is full and moving properly. Illness can begin when the ch’i is blocked and moves disharmoniously.  Such things as stress, sadness, and injury can disrupt the harmonious movement of ch’i.  Acupuncture treats the underlying imbalances and promotes harmony within the body.

Acupuncture is excellent at maintaining health and preventing illness. It is also a gentle and effective means of treating various conditions. Some conditions which acupuncture supports are: depression, migraines, back/neck pain and stiffness, allergies, neurological disorders, fibromyalgia, cancer treatment effects, infertility, gynecological issues, insomnia, reflux, digestive disorders, post-stroke clearing, addictions, and more.
