About Acupuncture

One of the oldest forms of healing in the world, acupuncture is a safe, natural and drug-free health care system. Based on the central tenet that the body must be in balance to function at its peak, acupuncture addresses the flow of energy (called chi) throughout the body along specific pathways called meridians. When this energy is flowing smoothly, the body is in balance and good health ensues. When the flow of energy is blocked, illness may result.

Acupuncture is the careful insertion of sterile, disposable, hair-thin needles in exact points that relate to specific body functions along these meridians. This balances the energy flow and allows the body to begin its own healing process. Regular acupuncture promotes vitality and creates a strong source of energy for daily living.

According the Federal Drug Administration, Americans visit acupuncturists nine to twelve million times a year. Among the numerous health organizations that recognize the benefits of acupuncture, the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization have concluded that acupuncture is an effective treatment for many conditions.
