Q:
What is acupuncture?
A:
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve overall health. It's based on the idea that the body has a flow of vital energy called "qi" (pronounced "chee"), which travels along pathways known as meridians. When this energy flow is disrupted or unbalanced, it can cause illness. Acupuncture aims to restore balance by stimulating these points.
In modern medicine, acupuncture is often used to help with conditions like:
-
Chronic pain (especially back, neck, and joint pain)
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Insomnia
-
Digestive issues
