Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that has been used for over 3000 years to relieve pain and treat a wide range of illnesses. It is based upon an energetic model rather than the biochemical model of western medicine. The ancient Chinese recognized a vital energy behind all forms and life processes. They call this energy QI (pronounced Chee). This energy is said to circulate throughout the body along specific pathways that are called meridians. As long as this energy flows freely throughout the meridians, health is maintained. If the flow of energy is blocked or depleted, the system is disrupted and pain and or illness can occur. |

EXAMPLE: Imagine a truck that travels along a freeway system throughout your entire body carrying needed energy to each organ and tissue. If emotional or physical trauma causes the trucks on the freeway to gridlock or the movement to be haphazard, the truck is unable to deliver the appropriate vital cargo to the right place in the body when needed. Acupuncture works to remove gridlock by stimulating certain points with Acupuncture needles or non-needle techniques, so THE FREEWAY SYSTEM IN YOUR BODY BEGINS TO FLOW FREE AND NORMAL ONCE AGAIN. |
