Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that dates back thousands of years. It is based on the belief that energy, known as qi (pronounced chee), flows throughout the body via channels or meridians. When a person's qi gets blocked or is deficient, the body is no longer balanced and this results in ill health.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely fine needles along specific points, to clear these energy blockages or increase the flow of qi in someone who may be deficient. It is a holistic form of medicine and improves both the patient's physical and emotional well-being.
Acupuncture can be beneficial in treating a wide range of problems including:
Acupuncture for back pain
