ACUPUNCTURE
Traditional
Acupuncture
Traditional Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practiced in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years. Although often described as a means of pain relief, it is also used to assist people with a wide range of conditions.
​
The difference betweenTraditional and the Western Medical Acupuncture is that Traditional Acupuncture treats for the purpose of altering the flow of Qi (or energy) along traditional Chinese meridians.
Medical Acupuncture follows evidence-based guidelines, recommended “point” locations, & dosages for the treatment of specific conditions, in particular musculoskeletal injuries.
