Acupuncture is performed by inserting very fine needles into specific locations along energy pathways of the human body. The insertion and manipulation of these needles can balance the energy and regulate the functions of the body. The goal of Acupuncture is to clear disruptions in the flow of qi (CHI) in the body. When there are disruptions in the energy flow it will cause blockages of energy that will generally manifest as illness, pain or disease.
