Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine, originating in China over 5,000 years ago.  It has been used to support almost every condition - including pain, fatigue, and chronic disease and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in modern research.

Central to Chinese Medicine is the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (qi) throughout the body. When there is too much, too little, or a blockage in the flow of qi, this can lead to pain, low energy, and symptoms of disease. Acupuncture brings balance and proper flow of qi, creating a state of increased health and vitality.
