Acupuncture was developed thousands of years ago by ancient Chinese physicians. This practice has withstood the test of time and is still very effective today. Chi, which is our internal life force, circulates throughout our body in channels known as meridians. When this Chi is blocked anywhere in the body, pain or dysfunction occurs. Acupuncture aims to unblock and correct the flow of chi and thereby correct the ailment. A more scientific explanation (for the twentieth century) is that the stimulation of certain trigger points on the body by acupuncture needles prompts the body to release certain hormones and chemicals that can reduce pain, regulate the endocrine system, and calm the nervous system. Acupuncture has been known to aid in relieving various forms of pain such as headaches and migraines, muscle pain and weakness, anxiety and depression, backaches, some sports injuries, fatigue, insomnia, smoking addiction, nervousness and arthritis. After the consultation and this first session you will feel the positive effects of this very powerful procedure and will experience a noticeable difference. PROCEDURE: 50 minutes
