Acupuncture is the insertion of stainless steel hair-thin needles into those points on the body which have been shown to effectively treat many disorders. These points have been located and described by Chinese physicians for over five thousand years; recent biomedical research in the US, Japan, Korea, Canada, and Russia have confirmed the existence and location of these points. The needles balance the qi or vital energy which courses through the lines of energy connecting the acupoints.
Acupuncture can treat the full range of human ailments, including acute and chronic diseases, pediatric disorders, OB-GYN problems, geriatrics, arthritis, diseases of metabolism, pain, headaches, etc.
