ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture has been practiced in Asia for over
2,500 years. It made its way to the U.S. in the 1970s. Acupuncture
is the insertion of hair-thin needles at specific points along the
meridians of the body. It balances one’s qi (pronounced “chee”) in
order to bring a person back to a state of balance – in other words,
to health. It can be used to manage symptoms, for relaxation and
stress relief, as well as a preventative measure to avoid periods of
dis-ease.
Both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health
Organization (WHO) recognize acupuncture as an effective form of
treatment for a variety of conditions.
Other modalities used in conjunction with the acupuncture are
Tui Na, Gua Sha, Cupping and Moxibustion.
