What is Acupuncture


Acupuncture is a healing technique that originated thousands of years ago from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This practice is based on the concept that medical conditions and mental health disorders are caused by an imbalance in vital life energy called Qi.
Qi regulates the overall health of the body, moving through pathways called meridians located at certain points throughout the body. Supported by TCM theory, Qi becomes congested in different meridian pathways, leading to disease or disorders. The goal of acupuncture is to restore the health and balance of these channels, therefore promoting better health and getting relief for the patient.
