Acupuncture is the most well-known practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is based on restoring the flow of energy throughout the body. This energy is known as the life force and referred to as qi or chi (pronounced chee).
Acupuncture sessions encourage the body to naturally heal itself by rebalancing qi, the life force that enlivens body, mind and spirit. Fine needles are placed in points to restore balance and nourish the essential functions of the organs. Research has shown it to be helpful for many conditions, including pain syndromes, cancer treatment-related side effects, gastrointestinal disorders, addictions and headaches.
