acupuncture

Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body, also called meridians in classical Chinese medicine. These meridians are energy lines that run through the body that carry life force energy, called Chi (or Xi), and our Vitality Center Acupuncturist’s will find areas along these meridians where blockages of Chi may be present and re-establish flow using needles and other traditional tools. Results from a number of studies suggest that acupuncture helps ease types of pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. It also may help the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches.
