Acupuncture Overview
Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical treatments in the world. Hundreds of acupuncture points on the human body are connected by meridians, or pathways. These pathways conduct energy which regulate spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Disruptions to these pathways are believed to be responsible for disease.

Hair-thin needles are gently inserted at specific points on the body to help balance the Yin and Yang, unblock stagnant energy, and restore health to the body and mind.

Millions of Americans have safely received acupuncture for the treatment of a broad spectrum of health conditions, including pain relief.
