What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest most commonly used medical procedures in the
world. Originating in China more than 2,000 years ago, it became better known in the
United States in 1971.
The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns
through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are
like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the body. An obstruction in
the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up the flow in one part of
the body and restricts it in others.
The meridians can be influenced by needling the acupuncture points; the acupuncture
needles unblock the obstructions at the dams, and reestablish the regular flow through
the meridians. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by
acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, and in promoting
physical and emotional well-being.

How does it work?
People response to acupuncture differently. Some individuals feel an immediate
effect after the first treatment. Most people get the benefits after several sessions. By
promoting the body’s ability to heal itself, people often experience improvements in
several areas of health, not just in the area they are seeking treatment for.
Do we use disposable needles?
The very thin needles we use are specially made for acupuncture and are supplied
factory sterilized and individually wrapped. The needles are discarded properly after
they are used.
