ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture has been around for many thousands of years.  At the heart of Acupuncture lies the concept of "Qi", pronounced "Ch-ee".  Qi is considered an energy force that links mind and body and drives all of the bodies functions.  Qi travels through meridians, or 'pathways', that have been mapped out throughout the body.  When acupuncture needles are placed in specific points in certain ways on these pathways, the flow of Qi can be influenced and the body's natural harmony and balance can be restored, which leads to increased body function and elimination of pain.
