Acupuncture is an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine, practiced for over 3,000 years. It involves the insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points, which are located along pathways called meridians. These meridians represent the flow of energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), throughout the body. The goal of acupuncture is to restore balance to the flow of Qi and support the body’s natural healing processes.
