Acupuncture in a Nutshell

Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that has been practiced for thousand of years. TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is quite complex and can be difficult for some people to understand. It is based, at least in part, on the Daoist belief that we live in a universe in which everything is interconnected. What occurs in one part of the body affects every other part of the body.

The mind, body and spirit are not viewed as separate, but viewed as interconnected structures that work together to keep the body functioning. TCM explains acupuncture as a technique that balances the flow of energy or life force known as Qi (chee). Qi flows through pathways (meridians) in your body.

By inserting fine thread like needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncturist are able to balance the flow of Qi (energy) which then allows the body to balance and heal. Acupuncture is NOT painful. You will feel a heaviness at times when a needle is inserted or shooting sensation of energy through your body. This is energy moving in your body. The treatment will take 4–50 minutes.  During treatment you will be able to relax and listen to music. This gives your body a chance to be calm and heal.
