About acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that uses thin needles that are inserted through the skin at specific points on the body. The belief is that there are invisible medians that run through the body carrying vital energy known as Qi. Along these lines are points where the application of a needle, pressure, or heat can resolve some medical issues you may be having. The places where the needles are placed are both traditional Chinese pressure points and myofascial trigger points.
