Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest health interventions in the world. The holistic healing modality has been used in the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and many other East Asian societies for over 2000 years. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"). According to TCM principles, disruptions in the flow of Qi can lead to imbalances, which produce signs and symptoms that create distinct patterns of disharmony that affect our health and well-being and cause dis-ease. Your treatment session may also include adjunct therapies, when indicated, to support your treatment. These therapies may include moxibustion, cupping, electro-acupuncture, far-infrared heat therapy, breathwork, liniments, essential oils and guided meditation.
