Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world, originating in China more than 2,000 years ago

Based on the physics principle that "energy precedes matter", the goal of acupuncture is to restore harmony and balance in the body-mind system.  

When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points on the body, they encourage the smooth flow of the body's energy or qi (pronounced "chee") by enhancing what is deficient, reducing what is excessive, and removing what is blocked. 

By making energetic "suggestions", acupuncture stimulates the body’s intrinsic healing abilities, helping the patient regain energetic balance and, ultimately, material health.  

Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as a safe, natural, drug-free, and effective way to address the symptoms and underlying root of a wide range of health concerns.
