Acupuncture focuses on balancing the energy, or Qi (pronounced chee), in the meridians on the body. These meridians can become out of balance due to the many stresses in our lives: work, diet, emotional and environmental. When the energy is not balanced, then symptoms will start to occur which may lead to disease. By asking questions, observing, taking your pulse, looking at your tongue, and palpating your abdomen, your acupuncturist can determine what is out of balance in your body.
Acupuncture works by inserting small stainless steel needles into acupuncture points specific for your condition. This corrects the flow of Qi in the body and helps the body to rebalance itself and lead toward optimum wellness.
