In the same way traffic lights maintain a steady and organized flow of traffic, acupuncture needles direct and move the flow of energy in your body.
According to the theory of Chinese medicine, your body is like a roadmap of corridors that contain the flow of your energy—your life force known as “qi”. When qi flows through your body unencumbered, you experience health. Alternatively, when the flow of qi is interrupted—much in the same way highway traffic becomes congested by too many cars or roads in disrepair—your health suffers.
Acupuncture is a method of aiding and directing the flow of qi through the energetic channels of the body to restore health. By inserting very fine acupuncture needles into points along these energetic channels (the traffic lights), qi flow is restored. Pain is released, your mood is balanced, your symptoms fade away, and your energy is naturally restored.
Who does this benefit? Acupuncture potentially benefits people experiencing back and muscle pain including frozen shoulder, sciatica, and recovery from car accidents, arthritis (both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis) menopause, anxiety/depression, insomnia, infertility, hypertension, fatigue, PMS, constipation, sinusitis, and allergies.
