ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a healing art that has been used in China for thousands of years.
An acupuncturist diagnoses and treats the body based on the theory that our
body and life processes are a unified system of energetic relationships.
Central to this energetic theory is the concept of Qi (“chee”)—the basic life force. Qi flows through specific pathways in the body called
meridians. These meridians and their numerous branches form an energetic
network which traverses the entire body and joins together all of its organ
systems. Along each meridian’s course, near the surface of the body, are points at which the Qi is most
accessible for stimulation.
To stimulate these points, thin, sterile needles are inserted at specific points
determined by the acupuncturist’s examination and diagnosis. When Qi—the life force—is blocked or out of balance, diseases and disorders develop. The purpose of
acupuncture is to move and balance the Qi, thus restoring health and harmony in
the body.
