Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It is based on the belief that the body has a vital energy, known as "qi" (pronounced "chee"), that flows through pathways called meridians. When this energy is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to various health issues.
By stimulating certain acupuncture points, it allows the restoration of the flow of qi, promotes healing and function, and reduces pain. Acupuncture is commonly used to treat a range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, stress, and more.
