Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is a foundational branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that is over 2,500 years old. It is a holistic healing technique based on the concept that health is determined by the balanced flow of vital energy, or Qi (pronounced "chee"), throughout the body.
The acupuncturist uses a detailed diagnostic process (including looking at the tongue, feeling the pulse, and asking questions) to identify the specific pattern of imbalance. They then insert ultra-fine, sterile, single-use needles into precise points (acupoints) along the meridians.
