Acupuncture is an ancient healing art based on the principle that the body is a unique bio-energetic system which is capable of healing itself if given the chance. Acupuncture facilitates the healing process by redirecting or unblocking the flow of energy along the meridians.

These meridians are naturally occurring channels through which energy flows to the organs and tendo-muscular systems of the body. Referred to as Qi (pronounced Chee) in Eastern philosophical, religious and medical schools of thought, this energy is thought to be the life force itself and as such is treated with great reverence.

This approach to wellness differs from the traditional Western concept in some very significant ways. Patients treated with acupuncture notice these differences and are generally pleased with the hands on and personal approach to their particular needs.
