Acupuncture, a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is believed to unblocked energy pathways, called meridians, that have been blocked secondary to illness, disease, and stress.   Properly placed acupuncture needles allow a free-flow of energy along the meridians.   Once energy is flowing freely, the body’s natural healing ability is optimized.

In the West, it has been proven that the insertion of acupuncture needles causes a release of endorphins, the body’s own pain-reliever.
