What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is part of a comprehensive medical system originating in China over 2000 years ago. Acupuncture utilizes fine, hair-like needles that are inserted at specific points on the body. These needles regulate the body’s natural energy, what is referred to as Qi (pronounced as “chee”). Health is seen as the harmonious and balanced flow of Qi (Qi in Japan and Chi in China). When this flow is disrupted, illness or disease (dis-ease) occurs.

Needles?
The needles in acupuncture treatments are very thin, about the width of a hair. The needles do not hurt when inserted properly. Many people feel the Qi arriving at the point of insertion and experience a tingling or heavy sensation. We use needles that are individually packaged, sterilized and disposable-never saved or reused. There are many acupuncture techniques including non-insertive techniques for those who do not wish to receive a needle treatment.
