Acupuncture points are specific locations on the body which lie on the meridians or channels. These channels form an intricate network and are responsible for transporting Blood, Body fluids and Qi (energy or life force) throughout the whole body. The slightest physical, mental or emotional imbalance may cause blockages along the meridians which inturn inhibits the smooth circulation of Qi and Blood. Fine, sterile, disposable Acupuncture needles can be inserted into few of the many hundreds of acupuncture points to stimulate and facilitate the flow of Qi assisting to restore balance and harmony to the individual.Acupuncture can treat a wide range of conditions and can also simply be used to increase energy levels, enhance immunity and to assist in the maintenance good health.

People are often surprised that acupuncture is generally pain free. Common sensations experienced include tingling, numbness or a heavy feeling around where the needle is inserted. However, for those that are afraid of needles there are other ways to stimulate these acupoints. Acupressure can be used which involves the application of pressure to the specific points usually with the fingers.
