Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe, effective and drug-free therapy that can help address a wide variety of common ailments and problems. It is and integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. TCM theory explains that qi* flows through the body in an orderly system.
This system is composed of hundreds of points were qi could be influenced to promote a smooth and regular flow in our bodies to maintain a healthy system.
According to this point of view, if there is an imbalance, a deficiency, stagnation or an exuberant flow of qi, diseases can manifest either in the musculoskeletal system, internal organs or physique.
In acupuncture, filiform needles are inserted in to the skin to release or promote the healing in muscles, joints and organ/systems.
Electrically stimulated acupuncture:
Sometimes a small electric current is used to create a “connection” between acupuncture points to augment the stimulus and help with the healing process.

“The medicine of East-Asia is based on a science that does not hold itself separate from the phenomena that it seeks to understand. This medicine does not grow out of a petri dish experimentation or double blind studies. It arose from observing nature and our part in it. Chinese Medicine evolves not from the examination of dead structures, but rather from living systems”.
