Acupuncture treatments involve the gentle insertion of very fine, hair-like needles, to stimulate points along the body’s energetic pathways. According to modern researchers, these energy pathways (known in Oriental Medicine as “meridians”) are planes of connective tissue that connect to every cell and organ in your body. The energy that runs through these tissues (known in Oriental Medicine as “Qi”) is often referred to as “bio-electricity.”

In Oriental Medicine, the therapeutic benefits of Acupuncture come from its ability to balance and restore the proper flow of vital Qi energy throughout the body. When Qi energy is flowing freely, the body is able to heal and function properly.

From a Western perspective, the benefits of acupuncture stem from its ability to affect the brain, nervous, hormonal, immune, vascular, and muscular systems. Acupuncture is able to trigger the body’s own pain relieving chemicals (i.e. endorphins and enkephalins) and can increase blood flow to various parts of the body, including internal organs.
