Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the use of very fine, sterile steel needles, placed strategically along specific pathways (called Meridians) along the body.  The meridians are directly related to our major organ systems in the body.  Flowing through these meridians is what we call our “Qi” energy.  This is the life-force that sustains and protects us.  When the Qi is moving along easily in the body, we feel good. However, if that flow is disrupted, we experience pathology.  This can be on a spiritual, physical, or mental level.

By stimulating certain points along specific meridians, we can enhance the functioning of the “sick” meridian and related organs.  This allows us to once again regain an energetic balance in the body, thus relieving the discomfort we developed.
