Just a few of the many benefits you could gain through acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical procedures used in the world today. It began in China over 2000 years ago and has been used as a primary method of treatment ever since. One of the distinguishing characteristics of Oriental Medicine is that it looks at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on individual symptoms. This allows for more effective treatment by focusing on the root cause disease.
"It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has." - Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.)
According to Chinese medical theory, disease occurs because the body is out of balance. To restore harmony, acupuncture needles are inserted at specific points along pathways called channels or meridians. By stimulating these points, the body’s qi (pronounced chee), or vital energy, re-balances. The patient’s general condition of health is improved by strengthening the body’s ability to remain healthy and withstand disease or hardship.
