Acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It has a very positive model of good health and function and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The purpose of acupuncture treatment is to restore the body's equilibrium. This is accomplished when the physical, emotional, and mental systems are treated as interdependent.

Acupuncture physicians are trained to use specific diagnostic techniques that have been developed and enhanced for centuries. Instead of focusing on the illness, the physician emphasizes on the individual and their symptoms. Each patient is unique; two people with the same western diagnosis may receive different acupuncture treatments.

Acupuncture is based on the principle that illness and pain occur when the body's vital energy is unable to flow freely. Emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection or injuries are some of the reasons for this disturbance. By inserting ultra-fine sterile needles into specific acupuncture points, an acupuncture physician seeks to restore the free flow of energy and correspondingly brings back balance and triggers the body’s natural healing response.

Evidence-based clinical research shows that acupuncture safely treats a wide range of common health problems.

More than 8 million Americans use acupuncture for different ailments, according to a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
