ACUPUNCTURE is part of system of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Acupuncture utilizes ultra fine, sterile needles that are inserted into particular points throughout the body in order to promote the body's natural healing response by stimulating Qi (pronounced "chee") or energy in the body. We can allow this influence to change the way our body is constantly adjusting, and to promote our own self healing.
