What is Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine?

​

Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine is a form of Complementary and Alternative Medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing processes. This technique targets key points along pathways known as "meridians," through which "Qi" (pronounced chee) — the life force or energy that nourishes and sustains the body — flows.

 

When the flow of Qi is disrupted, it can lead to pain and illness. Maintaining a balanced flow of Qi is essential for good health, as it influences various body systems, including the skeletal, muscular, endocrine, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, and nervous systems.
