Acupuncture is the insertion of hair-fine needles into the skin and body tissues.
The response solicited by the acupuncture point treatment is focused on balancing the body's systems which will in turn aid the body in functioning properly. Acupuncture does not hurt, The sensation created by the insertion of each needle should only be one of heaviness. Often this heaviness may be felt over regions of the body which are connected to each other by what we refer to as Meridians. Acupuncture is a primary health care modality that has been around for at least 2000 years and is used widely throughout the world. As long as the energy flows freely through these pathways, health is maintained.
