Acupuncture is a healing therapy that evolved over 3000 years ago in Asia.

It is based on the concept that there are channels, or meridians, distributed throughout the body, that facilitate the transportation of energy and blood. Acupuncture can influence and correct this flow by harnessing the electrical potential of energy through the insertion of small, hair-sized needles in locations along these meridians.

A growing number of Americans have found and continue to find relief from a wide variety of pain or health conditions, even though the scientific mechanism for acupuncture still remains elusive to the Western medical community.
