Acupuncture is based upon an ancient diagnostic and healing system founded in China thousands of years ago. It is believed to have evolved from practices that were developed as early as the Stone Age when primitive knives and sharp instruments were used to treat ailments. Even in ancient times, it was recognized that stimulation, even by means of injury, to certain parts of the body facilitated healing in other regions Over the ages, the art and science of the healing arts has advanced from primitive treatments to sophisticated methods of care. The practice of acupuncture has evolved into a refined system of painlessly inserting long thin needles in a specific pattern along 14 energy pathways called meridians to release and alleviate the energy blockages believed to cause disease.

As an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is used to treat many illnesses, reduce the side effects of drug withdrawal, and maintain optimum energy levels. Needles are placed in specific acupuncture points called 'tsubos' along the 12 meridian lines to release 'qi' energy and reduce the stagnation which results in disease.  Patients find these treatments to be incredibly relaxing and effective in reducing musculoskeletal pain. Acupuncture can be used to treat specific conditions, or as a general energy and immune system boost. This non-invasive procedure is extremely relaxing and is remarkably comfortable, with cumulative benefits produced when a patient receives regular acupuncture treatments.
