Acupuncture is achieved by inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, promoting natural healing and overall wellness.

What is Acupuncture?

An integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic technique involving the precise insertion of fine needles along the body’s energy meridians. By stimulating specific acu-points, acupuncture helps redirect and harmonize the flow of vital life force (chi/qi) to address physical, mental and emotional disharmonies.

Why it Works

Acupuncture is rooted in the holistic TCM philosophy that illnesses manifest from imbalances or blockages in the body’s energetic meridian pathways. When chi/life force becomes stuck or depleted, it creates areas of deficiency or excess – the root of all disease according to TCM. Acupuncture’s strategic needling helps release obstructions and restore dynamic yin-yang equilibrium.

How it Works

• Ultra-fine needles are gently inserted into specific acu-points along meridian lines • This stimulates the redirection and rebalancing of disrupted chi/energy flow

• Restoring smooth chi circulation allows the body’s intrinsic self-healing mechanisms to activate • Needles may be manually manipulated or fed electromagnetic pulses for added stimulus

Through its sophisticated, integrative influence on the body’s energy dynamics, acupuncture is able to profound impact seemingly disconnected issues – alleviating pain, stress, indigestion, insomnia and more.
