How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture works by balancing the flow of Qi (lifeforce) throughout your body, enabling your body to begin healing itself.
Acupuncture uses the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on your body. These needles encourage Qi to flow in various meridians (pathways).
Why do we need Acupuncture? What causes us to become unbalanced? Our bodies become dis-eased when our flow of Qi is disrupted. The flow of Qi may be altered by many factors such as traumatic injuries, poor dietary habits, emotional upsets, stressful lifestyles, over-working, and environmental factors. Once the flow of Qi is disturbed, one may experience pain, discomfort, insomnia, poor digestion, decreased immunity and disease formation.
Acupuncture enables us to stay balanced and healthy or help ourselves get back on the road to stability which allows us the opportunity to heal ourselves.
