About Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine:
Acupuncture is the insertion of extremely fine, pre-sterilized, disposable needles into specific points on the body as mapped by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Each acupuncture point is selected for a specific function with a predictable result. Points are selected based on the pattern discrimination diagnosed. TCM is an effective and comprehensive system of medicinal practice utilized and developed for over 3,000 years. Qi (chee), or vital energy, flows throughout the body along interconnected network pathways called channels. It originates from the organ systems and provides the motive force and delivery of nourishment and energy to all bodily tissues and structures. When there is obstruction in a channel, the flow of Qi becomes impeded and pain and illness result. Acupuncture is used to restore homeostasis to the body by using itŐs own innate healing abilities.
