Acupuncture 

Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that has been practiced for centuries. It's based on the theory that energy, called qi ("chee"), flows through and around the body along pathways called meridians.

By helping Qi flow smoothly, one’s body can prevent disease and dysfunction and constitutional imbalances. Acupuncture relieves headaches and tension, strengthens immunity, increases focus and energy, lowers stress and anxiety, improves sleep, reduces allergies and asthma, and maximizes over-all well being.

Traditional Chinese Medical practitioners believes that illness occurs when qi is blocked or imbalanced. We use needles in specific acupuncture points in order to influence qi(your vital force) and help it flow back into balance.
