How Acupuncture Works: Restoring Balance and Qi
Oriental Medicine is a holistic healthcare framework developed over thousands of years to preserve health and treat complex conditions. Central to this system is the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital energy force that flows freely through the body in a healthy state. When the flow of Qi is obstructed or unbalanced, discomfort or illness can occur.
During a session, thin, sterile, disposable needles are gently inserted into specific anatomical points. This process stimulates the body’s energetic pathways, enhances circulation, calms the nervous system, and triggers natural pain-relieving mechanisms to reestablish internal balance.
