What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a method of Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM, that has been around for more than 2,500 years. Acupuncture is said to help the body maintain its Chi balance and allow it to flow well through out body. TCM believes that the reason for ailments is a problem with the flow. By applying pressure to specific points throughout the body by using a needle, the chi is released and therefore free to travel through its meridians, or channels. 

While it is more often thought of as an Asian method, many western doctors have started to implement and learn acupuncture because of its amazing results. Dentists in the US have used acupuncture in order to ease patient’s anxiety levels. Acupuncture is known to lower levels of pain and help aid the problem instead of completely shut off sensations, such as with anesthetics. 


The most common types of problems acupuncturists deal with are conditions in which there is a lot of pain, such as with the back, shoulder, knee and neck. However, acupuncture is capable of treating a variety of other conditions as well.
