Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into specific points along the meridians. Modern research has demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on the various systems of the body including the nervous system, endocrine system, immune system, cardiovascular system and the digestive system.
These points each have specific actions along the channel and with corresponding organs. Acupuncture needles are inserted to manipulate the flow of Qi, by unblocking and moving; or by redirecting the Qi to where it is needed most. Once the correct flow has been restored, the body can again function as it should.
