Acupuncture, simply stated, is a health science which is used to successfully treat
both pain and dysfunction.
Early Chinese physicians discovered that there is an energy network traversing just
below the surface of the skin which communicates from the exterior to the internal organs
and structures over 1,000 "Acupoints" on the body. This energy works in harmony with the
body's circulatory, nervous, muscular, digestive, genitourinary and all other systems of the
body. When this vital energy becomes blocked or weakened, an effect in a body system or
anatomic location becomes evident. Stimulation of one or a combination of key "Acupoints"
on the body may restore harmony to the affected area.
Historians have stated "More people have benefited from Acupuncture over the course of
fifty centuries than the combined total of all other healing sciences, both ancient and modern."
Acupuncture is a principle, not a technique. Therefore, there are many ways to stimulate an
Acupoint other than a needle. The use of electronic stimulation, laser beam or pressure massage
is also an effective method to treat an Acupoint with equal effectiveness as the needle. The
principle of Acupuncture does not change, only the technique. These procedures are painless and
are quickly becoming standard worldwide.
