Acupuncture is an eastern medical art that is based on the philosophy of “Qi” energy. Qi energy flows throughout your body within distinct channels called meridians. It is believed that disease or pain is caused when there is a disruption or imbalance within these energy meridians. What can bring imbalance to these energy channels? Central to chinese philosophy is the idea of balance. Living a balanced life between work, rest, diet, and emotional balance are vital to one's health. When there is an imbalance, disruption in energy flow occurs. Imbalances can also be caused by physical injuries which may have occured previously. Acupuncture consists placing hair-thin needles at exact points along these channels to either promote or open energy. Acupuncture is excellent for many conditions ranging from common aches and pains to smoking cessation, digestive problems, and weight loss. I practice traditional meridian-style acupuncture as taught in Asia. I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns that you may have upon your visit to the clinic.
