Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese method of healing where hair-thin needles are placed just through the skin in specific locations (acupuncture points). The tiny needles stimulate the acupuncture points, which, according to traditional Chinese medicine, will correct imbalances and disruptions in energy flow patterns through the body.
Acupuncture is used to treat illness, ease pain, and improve other symptoms. It is based on the theory that balanced energy flow patterns through the body are essential for health and well-being. It is also thought that acupuncture stimulates the release of natural chemicals that block pain messages that are sent to the brain. However, much is still unknown about the way acupuncture works.
