Overview

Acupuncture involves inserting a tiny needle in specific points on “meridians” in the body. Acupuncture can be useful for conditions such as pain and general well-being as it works to remove stress and warm up the energy in the body.

 

From a TCM perspective, this energy is called “Qi” or “Chi”. Physical, mental, or emotional trauma can block the movement of Qi, causing “stasis” in the meridians; this then leads to illness.

 

Acupuncture works to redirect this energy so that it flows freely throughout the body. Acupuncture can help with a variety of illnesses some of which have been listed below.
