What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a complex branch of ancient Chinese medicine, but it's practical principles and methods are easily understood.

Fourteen major energy channels course through the human body including the head, arms, legs, feet, torso, and internal organs.
A subtle energy called Chi circulates via the meridians to all parts of the body, even the most remote cell.
Chi is the vital force, the presence of which separates the living form the dead. Its balanced, unimpeded flow is critical to sound health.
Any misdirection, blockage, or other derangement of the amount, flow, or balance of chi main result in emotional or physical pain, dysfunction, and illness.
Acupuncture stimulates certain points allong the channels of energy on the body. This stimulation helps to restore the normal balance and flow of energy throughout the body. This helps the systems of the body work in harmony and health.
