People often turn to this ancient drug-free therapeutic service for improved health and wellbeing.  One of the most important concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine is that of Qi, the vital force or energy that flows through a system of channels in the body known as the Meridians.

The goal of acupuncture is to establish healthy body function by restoring the natural circulation of energy, or Qi. Acupuncture is using a sterile single use fine needle (approximately 0.2mm diameter) that is inserted into the skin where the energy flow of Qi may be stimulated in the body, removing blockages that can lead to pain, health complaints and other health issues.
