Acupuncture

In Chinese Medicine, "Qi" (pronounced “chee”) refers to the vital life force that flows through the body, supporting every organ, tissue, and system. It is the energy that fuels movement, breath, thought, and healing. When Qi is abundant and flows freely, we experience good health and vitality. However, when Qi becomes blocked, stagnant, or deficient, it can manifest as pain, fatigue, stress, illness, and even premature aging.

Qi travels through a network of energy pathways known as acupuncture meridians. These meridians connect various systems in the body, and imbalances within them can disrupt overall well-being. Acupuncture is a key therapy in Chinese Medicine used to restore the smooth, balanced flow of Qi. By gently inserting fine needles into specific acupuncture points, the body’s natural healing response is activated—reducing inflammation, relieving pain, calming the nervous system, and supporting long-term health.
