What exactly is acupuncture?
Acupuncture refers to the insertion of extremely fine needles* into certain specific sites on the body in order to treat pain and disease. In Chinese medicine, it is believed that acupuncture regulates the flow of qi (pronounced chee) or energy through the body, thus establishing or re -establishing the body's harmonious function. (*There is no pain associated with acupuncture needles, I promise!)
Acupuncture is one the fastest growing fields of medicine in the United States, due in large to part to its long (very long) history of success in Asia. With over 2,500 years of known practice, Acupuncture's success is based on its clear and measurable effectiveness.

NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT
For thousands of years, the Chinese have known that beauty comes from the inside. Acupuncture rejuvenation practices were employed for the Empress and the Emperor’s concubines at least as early as the Sung Dynasty (960AD-1270AD). The Chinese discovered and utilized ways to change the energy flow within the body to initiate the healing process for rejuvenation. According to a famous Chinese axiom, “Where qi goes, blood flows.” Even for those unfamiliar with the principles of Chinese Medicine, it is known that increased circulation helps the body to look and feel better. Rather than masking outward symptoms and allowing further decline and dysfunction within the body, Chinese Medicine treats the underlying cause of why someone is aging.
