About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), practiced for over 2,000 years to balance the body’s vital energy, or "qi" (pronounced "chee"). By gently inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points, acupuncture stimulates natural healing and restores function. Modern acupuncture combines these ancient principles with evidence-based techniques, making it an effective, drug-free approach for pain relief, stress management, better sleep, and overall wellness.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic health system that views the body as an interconnected whole. At its core is the belief that balance—of Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water)—is essential for good health. Pain and illness are seen as a disruption or stagnation in the body’s natural flow. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, movement therapies, and massage, TCM restores harmony and helps your body return to a pain-free, balanced state. [Learn More ➔]
