Acupuncture is a
therapeutic method used to correct imbalances, restore health, relieve pain and improve
body function. This practice is over 2,500 years old and is one component of
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Done by inserting very fine needles into
specific points of the body, acupuncture unblocks the flow of energy (Qi or Chi). It has been successfully practiced for hundred
of years in Asia; in recent years western medical communities have begun to
study, research and explain its effectiveness.
