Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a staple of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been used for centuries to restore health and function. Acupuncture involves the insertion of filament needles into specific points of soft tissue around the body. From a traditional or eastern medicine perspective, acupuncture assists to balance the body by normalizing energy flow or Qi (chi) along pathways called meridians. From a western medicine perspective, acupuncture needles are inserted adjacent to nerves which helps to stimulate blood flow, control pain, and stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
