Acupuncture is a form of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) that has been practiced for centuries. It is used to naturally improve the energy flow of Qi (chee) through the body to re-balance and bring an overall holistic treatment. Activating specific points in the body with sterile, single use needles can help open up these pathways needed to balance your Qi.
