What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body — called acupoints — to stimulate the flow of Qi (pronounced “chee”), or vital energy.

 

According to traditional theory, when Qi flows smoothly, the body is in balance and health is maintained. When the flow is blocked or imbalanced, pain or illness may occur. Acupuncture helps restore this balance by encouraging the body’s natural healing processes.

​

From a modern medical perspective, acupuncture can:

  • Stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue

  • Improve blood circulation

  • Trigger the release of natural painkillers (endorphins)

  • Reduce inflammation and stress
