ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine practice where very fine needles are inserted at specific points on the body. These points are known as acupuncture points which stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to promote healing and balance our flow of energy (or “Qi”) which flows through pathways of the body known as channels or meridians.

Based on Traditional Chinese medicine beliefs, when these pathways are blocked or the flow is disrupted, it can lead to illness or pain. Acupuncture needles are inserted to unblock and balance the flow of qi which then restores the body’s natural harmony promoting healing and well-being.  

In modern perspectives, Acupuncture is more commonly connected with the knowledge of stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, potentially increasing blood flow and activating the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms. Acupuncture needling methods trigger the release of endorphins to enhance the body’s own natural healing capabilities to promote, maintain and restore health.
