Acupuncture Therapy

Acupuncture is a form of external therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. This treatment works by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, regulating organ function, and restoring balance within the body’s systems.

Acupuncture is known for its:

• Wide range of applications

• Effective results

• Minimal side effects

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, good health depends on the smooth and balanced flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”), the body’s vital life energy. Qi flows through invisible pathways called meridians, which connect and support all of the body’s functions.

When this flow is disrupted — due to factors like stress, poor diet, infection, smoking, or environmental toxins — the body becomes imbalanced, increasing the risk of disease and discomfort.

How Acupuncture Works

A registered TCM practitioner uses acupuncture to:

• Stimulate key acupoints along the meridians

• Clear blockages in the flow of Qi

• Promote circulation and healing

• Restore balance to internal organs and systems

At our clinic, acupuncture treatments are gentle and safe. Therapies may involve:

• The painless insertion of very fine, sterile needles
