Chinese Medicine is based on the theory that energy flows through the body in channels. When there is a disruption or imbalance in the flow of this energy, illness or discomfort occur. Acupuncture works by accessing the energy via fine single use needles placed at points along the channels. Blockages are removed and imbalances corrected with the needles and other modalities. Many people find acupuncture treatments relaxing and achieve a sense of well-being after several treatments.
