What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a healing modality rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine—one of the oldest, continuously practiced systems of medicine in the world.
It involves the gentle insertion of ultra-thin needles at specific points along the body’s meridians, pathways through which your life force energy, or Qi (pronounced “chi”), flows. When this energy is blocked or out of balance, it can manifest as pain, illness, or emotional distress. Acupuncture works by restoring harmony to the flow of Qi, supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and bringing balance to both the root causes and surface symptoms of dis-ease.
In more specific Western terms: Inserting acupuncture needles minutely ruptures cells to elicit the following:
1. local skin reaction
2. interaction with connective tissue
3. muscle relaxation to promote circulation
4. engagement of the Central Nervous System
5. blood coagulation and lymph circulation
6. white blood cells are recruited to boost immunity
7. encouragement of reparative DNA synthesis
