Acupuncture is based on the principle of the “pattern of disharmony”. It’s one of the components belonging to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). During treatment, the acupuncture practitioner, Dr. Qiu, inserts hair-fine needles into the body’s skin and tissue. The purpose of this procedure is to relieve pain, balance body energy and to maintain function of the meridian channel and its related body tissues and organs.
Acupuncture is considered very safe. Although sensations may be felt when the needle is inserted, its is surprisingly and typically non-painful. This feeling or sensation is usually felt around the area of the body where the meridian channels past through. Meridian channels are the “roadways” through which your body’s energy flows.
