Acupuncture has its roots deeply planted in China. The science is between 5,000 and 7,000 years old. Acupuncture did not become known on a national level in the US until 1971 when diplomatic relations between China and the US were relaxed.

The human body’s energy flow courses over twelve meridians or channels that are normally well balanced. If a disruption of energy flow exists, it can alter the entire system, producing pain or symptoms in the body. Acupuncture’s goal is to restore normalcy to the body’s energy balance by using a combination of acupoints located on the twelve meridians. This is accomplished by a variety of means, the needle being just one.
