In Chinese medicine, it’s thought that pain and disease result from blocked energy channels that run along meridians, or energy pathways, throughout the body. By placing hair-thin needles at specific points along the channel, healthy energy is restored.
What is Chinese Medicine?
The practice of classical Chinese medicine incorporates ancient Chinese philosophy and teachings. Fundamental components are the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and other treatment modalities that provide a complete therapeutic system. The end goal is to prevent disease and imbalance in the patient by helping to establish mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Chinese medicine is used worldwide for everything ranging from the common cold, to pain, to severe and recalcitrant disease.
