Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture plays a crucial role in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
​
A small needle is inserted into specific points on muscles, nerves, tendons, and/or fascia to regulate imbalances in the body's Qi, the energy that flows throughout the body through channels called "meridians".
​
In China, acupuncture has been practiced since the Stone Age. However, it did not gain prominence until the second century BC. Acupuncture is mentioned in the earliest and most significant Traditional Chinese Medicine ancient text, "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine". Since then, acupuncture theory has continued to evolve and modernize.

Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system, triggering the release of chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes stimulate the body's natural healing abilities, promoting both physical and emotional health.
