Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a technique based in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been in existence for over 2,500 years. By using very thin metal needles inserted into the surface of the skin, acupuncturists focus on nerve-rich areas that interact with the function of tissue, glands, organs and other various parts of the human body.

The Philosophy behind Acupuncture?

The philosophy behind acupuncture is based on a belief that the body possesses an inner energy force called ‘qi’ (pronounced ‘chee’). When qi is flowing well throughout the body, our mental and physical state is at its prime. However, when there’s a blockage of qi energy, this can result in an illness, pain or even a troubled emotional state. Specific acupuncture points throughout the body are targeted during sessions to alleviate those blockages in qi, thus reducing the body’s experience of that discomfort.
