Acupuncture works on an energetic, functional level to restore balance and harmony to the mind/ body system, and is a system of medicine that restores and maintains health by the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points just beneath the body surface. These points are very specific locations and lie on channels or meridians of energy.
Acupuncture is a complex system of diagnosis and treatment that takes into consideration the person as a whole. Utilizing methods including acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, massage, and moxibustion, acupuncturists detect dis-harmonies in the system and treat them.
