Acupuncture

Acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese Medicine philosophy.

According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine,

illness is caused when chi (the body’s natural energy) does not

flow properly throughout the body.

Acupuncturists determine whether chi is weak, stagnant or

otherwise out of balance, which indicates the points to be

stimulated.

Using very thin, disposable metal needles in specific points on

the body it enhances and balances the flow of the body’s

natural energies and effectively activates the body’s

self-healing process.
