This highly effective system of medical care is based on natural laws, which govern the movement of vital life giving energy, both in nature and in the body. This energy, called “Qi” (pronounced chee), moves through the body in precise channels supporting functions of the body, mind and spirit. When the chi is moving disharmoniously, imbalance begins to surface in the form of specific symptoms. To address the underlying cause of a condition, these symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person. The gentle insertion of hair thin needles at specific points along the channels of Qi energy, help restore harmony. In the presence of this subtle yet profound intervention, symptoms often resolve and patients frequently experience renewed vitality.

Most people are surprised at the depth of relaxation and the sense of well being and healing which occurs from the rebalancing of the body’s energy. Often relief from symptoms is felt immediately, although relief may occur over the course of days or weeks depending on the severity of symptoms. You will find you will look forward to treatment for the many benefits that are received from acupuncture.
