According to Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/a>, acupuncture is part of the
\nancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
\nthat has evolved over thousands of years to
\nprevent, diagnose, and treat disease.<\/b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The belief is that your body’s vital energy (called qi) flows along specific meridian channels and lends itself to spiritual, emotional, and physical health when balanced. When unbalanced, it can lead to health issues, but one approach to restoring the balance and flow is acupuncture. Acupuncturists believe 2,000+ acupuncture points on the body are linked through the various meridians. The actual practice of acupuncture includes placing thin needles into the skin on certain points of a meridian. These are then activated by the provider’s hands or through electrical stimulation.<\/p>\n

In Western practices, acupuncture points are seen as places to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue and stimulate pain management naturally in the body.<\/p>\n

The needles used in acupuncture are extremely thin, causing little pain to the recipient<\/a>. Instead, many feel relaxed or energized through the practice of acupuncture. Other forms of stimulation may also be used in the sites, including heat, pressure, friction, and suction.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”3\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1718210379814{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Professionals use acupuncture to<\/b> relieve discomfort and treat conditions<\/b><\/a> like:<\/b><\/p>\n
