Acupuncture is one of several different treatment modalities
within traditional
Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles
into specific points along channels just under the skin to balance
the flow of energy, or qi, through these channels. There are over
a thousand known acupuncture points on the body. The connections
between the acupuncture points ensure that there is an even circulation
of qi, a balance between Yin and Yang. Acupuncture needles access
acupuncture points to help guide qi to areas where qi is insufficient
and disperses qi away from areas where qi is stagnant. Over the
past three decades, electromagnetic research has confirmed the
existence and location of many acupuncture points.
