Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of very fine needles at specific points on the body.  This process stimulates movement of energy within the body, removing energetic blockages and allowing natural healing to take place.  Acupuncture practitioners are trained to select these points, based on more than 3,000 years of experinece in China and other Asian countries.

Acupuncture helps to prevent illness by improving the overall functioning of the body's immune and organ systems. Acupuncture is helpful for:

• Treating existing illnesses and injuries.
• Preventing both recurrence of illnesses and new illness.
• Improving overall health and immune function.

History: Acupuncture originated in China over 3,000 years ago. It is part of the holistic system of healing known as Traditional Chinese Medicine.
