Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine that revolves around the idea that many diseases are caused by an inbalance in ones Qi (chi), essentially energy pathways that transverse the body. By using very thin needles, and sometimes heat, acupuncture attempts to open up and restore those pathways, otherwise known as meridians, and restore balance to the body.
Chiropractic acupuncture focuses mostly on the pain relieving abilities of acupuncture. By activating specific points on the body and balancing the patient’s Qi many painful conditions can be treated.
