What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-tested healing modality rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. It involves the insertion of ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body, stimulating the body's natural ability to heal and regulate itself. Acupuncturists strategically target these points along meridians, or energy pathways, to balance the flow of vital energy, known as "Qi."
