Acupuncture
Needling of acupuncture points using sterile single use filiform needles which are inserted subcutaneously to help heal the body. The acupuncture points are on specific channel pathways which relate to different organ systems and specific phases of the body. Stimulating the qi (chi) in these acupuncture pathways can help create balance between the yin and yang energy within the many phases and organ systems of the body to promote optimal health.
