HOW IT WORKS
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views the vital substances and functions of the body as a continuum consisting of two polar opposites that may be regarded as "matter" and "energy". Acupuncture's focus is to regulate the flow of energy or "Qi" within the material channels and organs of the body.
The Chinese medical system seeks to rebalance the body's energetic functioning by tapping into the flow of vital energy and restoring its ability to flow freely within its internal pathways. In this way health is maintained. Acupuncture works to remove energy blockages, strengthens the body's protective Qi and lessens the effects of external influences that cause the body to weaken.
