Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing used by Oriental Medical Practitioners.  It has been in existence for over 6,000 years.  Acupuncture involves the process of inserting fine thin needles into the skin.  These needles are used to stimulate specific points found along the "Meridians" of the body.  Meridians are pathways through which the "Qi" (chee) circulates throughout the human body. 

Qi is the energy, or essence, that maintains health and prevents ilness.  When the flow of Qi through the meridinas becomes diminished, blocked, or is in excess, the patient begins to experience illness or pain.  Acupuncture works to remove these blocks and allow energy to flow freelythrough the meridians.  Once the proper flow of energy is established, pain is eliminated and health is restored.

Acupuncture balances the Qi and harmonizes all the internal organs and  structures.  This energy works in combination with circulatory, nervous, digestive, endocrine, and other body systems, to increase the health of each individual, while preventing the formation of other disorders.

Acupuncture is commonly used to treat illnesses such as Low Back Pain, Headaches, Neck and Shoulder Pain, Knee Pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Sciatica, Stress, Depression, Insomnia, Heartburn, Indigestion, Fatigue, and all types of Hormone issues including Menstrual Pain, PMS, and Menopause.
