Acupuncture theory is based on the premise that the body’s motivating energy ("Chi" or "Qi") circulates throughout the body along well-defined pathways, or meridians.  When we are in perfect health, this energy flows in a smooth and balanced way.  When there is impairment to the circulation of energy we may experience illnesses and pain. Treatments consist of the insertion of very thin needles at specific points along the body’s energy channels.  The aim is to stimulate the body’s own healing response and restore its natural balance.
