Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive medical system for over 3,000 years to diagnose and help millions of people health and sustain wellness. Acupuncture involves the placement of fine, sterile needles in specific acupoints on the body by a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.). This activates the body’s Qi (pronounced chee) and promotes natural healing by enhancing recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health. It may also improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.
