What is Acupuncture and how can it help?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has a history dating back somewhere between 4000 and 6000 years in China. While historical records indicate that the ‘needles’ they used were made of sharpened stones and bones, acupuncture needles of today are now made of sterile surgical-grade stainless steel and have a measured thinness as little as 1/8th of a millimetre (0.12mm).
The goal of acupuncture is to improve the “vital flow” or Qi (pronounced “chee”) of every organ system throughout a patient’s body in order to improve the body’s ability to heal itself and return to a state of balance. A TCM acupuncturist can detect when a patient’s Qi is not flowing properly, and their duty is to rebalance that flow by inserting acupuncture needles in specific points on the patient’s body.
