According to Chinese medical theory, our bodies posses a life energy known as Qi (chee). This life energy runs throughout the body and its organs along pathways called meridians or channels. Pain and illness occur when there is an imbalance of the Qi due to the physical and mental stresses of life. Hair-thin needles are inserted and manipulated at specific points along the meridians (acupoints) to rectify the disturbance in the flow of the Qi. Acupuncture and other forms of Chinese Medicine, such as herbal medicine, help to restore balance and harmony, promoting the body's ability to strengthen and heal itself.

Acupuncture returns the body to its
natural state of balance and harmony.
