Acupuncture is one of the oldest,
most commonly used medical procedures in the world, originating
in China over 3,000 years ago.
Over 2000 acupuncture points on the
human body connect with 14 pathways, called meridians. Chinese
medicine practitioners believe these meridians conduct energy,
or Qi, between the surface of the body and internal organs. Qi
regulates spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance.
When Qi flow is disrupted, through poor health habits or other
circumstances, pain and/or disease can result. Acupuncture acts
to keep the normal flow of this energy unblocked.
The intent of acupuncture is to
stimulate the body, release energy blocks, and re-establish
normal equilibrium, thereby facilitating the body's natural
ability to heal itself. In the last 40 years, Chinese and
Western studies have suggested that the insertion of needles at
acupuncture points helps release some chemical neurotransmitters
in the body, including endorphins.
