What is Acupuncture? - Acupuncture is a Chinese healing art that involves the gentle insertion of needles into specific parts of the body that are described as acupuncture points.

Acupuncture originated in China more than 3000 years ago, and due to its proven effectiveness has been embraced throughout the world.

The purpose of acupuncture is to stimulate and activate the body's own natural healing mechanisms and potential. The word acupuncture comes from two Latin words, "acus" and "punctura". Acus means needle and punctura means pricking.

The number of treatments will depend on your condition and could vary from two to twelve sessions, depending on whether your symptoms are chronic or acute and on your general physical vitality.

Acupuncture treatments may also include a variety of non-needle techniques, such as heat treatment (called moxibustion), acupressure, nutritional supplements, diet and exercise recommendations.

In modern China acupuncture is practiced alongside Western medicine in most hospitals. Acupuncture is an integral part of Traditional Oriental Medicine which includes herbology, acupressure, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle counseling. Oriental and Western medicine complement each other and can be integrated to create optimal health care.
