Oriental Medicine is a healing art of over 2,500 years and is based on a system of diagnosis of disease prevention, health and well-being. The basis of this method is founded on the principal Qi and defined pathways (meridians) of energy flowing through the body. Pain and illness are the result of disruption of the Qi. This can be due to injury, stress, poor diet, medications or other conditions. With the understanding that the body has the ability and the intelligence to heal itself when given the right input, the intention is to restore the flow of Qi in the body. This network connects every organ and part of the body, providing balance and regulation of physiological processes. Acupuncture treats health conditions by stimulating "acu-points" found at specific locations on the surface of the body. Acupuncturists use a complex system of diagnostic methods that take into consideration the person as a whole, discerning the body’s pattern of disharmony rather than simply treating the symptoms. The goal is not only to alleviate symptoms but more importantly to treat the underlying cause.

Acupuncture is a very effective form of medical treatment that throughout that years has evolved into a complete holistic health care system. Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well.
