The
insertion of fine, thin needles into the meridian points (gateways)
of the body that correspond with a practitioner's diagnosis
of the location of a patient's illness or pain. The needle insertion
into the prescribed points helps alter energy stagnated at the
prescribed acupoints and stimulates the acupoints to begin normal
adjusted flow of life energy (Chi) to the areas where the pain
or illness was originating from.
The
process of acupuncture acupoint stimulation is to help restore
normal balance and flow of the human life energy (Chi) and revitalize
the body to repair itself and maintain its health.
Traditional
acupuncture dates back over 3000 years and has been used as
a part of the primary health care services offered in China.
