Acupuncture
According to the ancient Chinese, vital energy (chi) travels through your body along pathways called meridians. When you are in good health the flow of chi is smooth and uninterrupted, but when illness strikes this flow is disturbed. An Acupuncturist works by first diagnosing which energy pathway (meridians) are out of balance and then by stimulating precise points along the meridians usually with very fine needles, or with ‘moxibustion’ (heat treatment) to restore your flow of chi and return you to full health. There are also techniques for treating the acupuncture points without needles.
