What is acupuncture?<\/h5>

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine-based approach to treating a variety of conditions by triggering specific points on the skin with needles.\u00a0<\/span>Acupuncture is a minimally invasive method to stimulate nerve-rich areas of the skin surface in order to influence tissues, gland, organs, and various functions of the body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each acupuncture needle produces a tiny injury at the insertion site, and although it\u2019s slight enough to cause little to no discomfort, it\u2019s enough of a signal to let the body know it needs to respond. This response involves stimulation of the immune system, promoting circulation to the area, wound healing, and pain modulation. Contemporary research on acupuncture relies mainly on this theory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

What\u2019s the philosophy behind acupuncture?<\/h5>

The Chinese philosophy behind acupuncture is a bit more complicated, as the ancient practice isn\u2019t traditionally based in science and medicine. They believed that the human body was filled with and animated by an invisible life-giving force which they called \u2018qi\u2019 (pronounced \u2018chee\u2019) and when the qi was flowing well and going to all the right places, then a person would experience good mental and physical health. When the qi was flowing incorrectly (blocked or deficient) that would result in illness.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>concept of qi<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>isn\u2019t too out there \u2014 think of it as your body\u2019s natural inner workings. Sometimes you\u2019re more prone to illness when feeling stressed or anxious. When you\u2019re relaxed and healthy, your body physically reflects that too. After all, your mood, mental health, and general well-being\u00a0<\/span>do\u00a0<\/span><\/em>affect your physical health. Thus, acupuncture aims to assist people in achieving balance, or qi, and, as a result, provide relief for many ailments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
