Acupuncture is a primary healing modality within the tradition of Oriental Medicine. The concept of Qi (chee) is used to describe the energy that animates our entire universe. Qi has been found to flow throughout many pathways within humans and animals. These pathways or meridians also correlate with the major internal organs in the body. Each meridian branches into smaller branches (similar to the cardiovascular system), eventually reaching each nucleus of every cell of the body.

Acupuncture involves the use of fine needles that are inserted into key points that exist along these meridians in the body. Stimulation of these points regulates the flow of Qi and encourages the body to balance and restore a state of health.

Today acupuncture is one of the most widely practiced and popular healing modalities in the world. Combining acupuncture with the other treatment modalities of Oriental Medicine leads to even more powerful and complete results.
