Acupuncture is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat diseases. According to the Chinese philosophy, energy (qi, pronounced “chee”) flows through the body through pathways called meridians. When qi becomes blocked or “stagnates” due to unhealthy lifestyle choices or stress, acupuncture helps relieve the blockage. Using ultra-thin needles and a very specific map of the body, the acupuncturist energies the energy channels to create a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.
