Acupuncture is a form of treatment that stimulates the body's innate healing mechanisms. It involves

the insertion of thin, solid, single-use, sterile needles into the skin at specific points.  

At the core of Chinese medicine is the notion that a type of life force or energy, known as qi ("chee")

flows through pathways (meridians) in the body. Achieving free flow of qi promotes health and

wellness. To restore balance, an acupuncturist inserts needles at points along the meridians.  

The patient will often find the treatment to be very relaxing and many times will leave the office with

immediate relief from symptoms.
