What is Acupuncture
In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is linked to the belief that disease is caused by disruptions to the flow of energy, or qi, in the body. Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points on the body by insertion of very fine needles to elicit a predictable physiological response.
This stimulus may also be administered to the points using mild electrical stimulation, pressure techniques or the application of heat.
