Traditional acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of Qi (chee) and blood through energetic pathways in the body referred to as meridians. Qi is the animating force that gives us our capacity to move, think, and feel. Qi regulates the physical, emotional, mentalandspiritualharmonyof thebodybykeeping theenergetic flows in balance. Imbalances and blockages of the body’s Qi are the root of disease processes. These imbalances may be caused by physical and emotional trauma, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, and chronic stress. Meridians circulate life-giving nourishment in the form of Qi and blood to every part of the body. Certain points on the body act as gateways to access and regulate the Qi via the insertion of very fine needles. What Does Acupuncture Treat? Acupuncture effectively treats a broad range of acute and chronic conditions and provides preventative care. Some conditions that acupuncture can benefit include but are not limited to: pain relief, stressmanagement,pre-natalandpost-natalcare,healthmaintenance, muscular and neurological disorders, as well as conditions such as arthritis and headaches.
