Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of energy, known as “Qi” (pronounced “chee”). These points are believed to be connected by pathways, or meridians, that influence the body’s overall health and balance.
