Acupuncture is an effective method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to obtain optimum health through balance. Acupuncture is a form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. The first record of acupuncture is found in the 4,700 year old Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.) An acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. These acupuncture points initiate the movement of Qi (energy) along channels called meridians. What is Qi? Qis a vital substance; the combination of the air we breath, the food we eat and movement. Some people describe Qi as an electromechanical force, some describe it as life's energy, others as the essense of life. It is blockage of Qi, the deficiency of Qi or imbalance of organ systems that are responsible for illness or pain. Acupuncture is a safe, painless and an effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.  Click here to learn about our office's trained acupuncturist Jessica Fieo. |
