Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Millions of people have found the answer to pain in acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is a natural system of therapy that works with your body, not against it; combining ancient time proven methods with modern science. Acupuncture and Oreintal Medicine has been practiced continuously for over 2,500 years throughout Asia, but was relatively unknown in the United States until recenlty.

In the early 1970’s Oriental Medicine gained acceptance in the United States after president Richard Nixon’s visit to China. He referred to acupuncture as a “miraculous” healing art that was at that time, virtually unknown in the United States. In less than forty years, acupuncture has blossomed into the mainstream and is now practiced worldwide in private clinics as well as prestigious medical facilities such as UCLA Hospital.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine seeks to control and alter the flow of life energy called Qi (pronounced “chi”) as it travels the body in twelve distinct pathways called meridians. Stress, trauma, toxins and unhealthy habits disrupt the flow and balance of the essential life energy, causing illness and pain. Acupuncture normalizes the dysfunction caused by imbalance or Qi and blood flow, bringing balance to our bodies, greatly facilitating healing and wellness, while eliminating pain.
