Acupuncture is a technique utilizing fine sterile disposable stainless steel needles inserted at specific points in the body to cause a positive response in order to correct various ailments.  The ancient chinese believed that there is a universal life energy called qi  (pronounce "chi") that is present in every living being.  This energy circulates throughout the body along specific pathways called meridians.  A person's health is influenced by the quality, quantity and balance of qi.

When Qi flows freely throughout the body, one enjoys good physical, mental and emotional well being.  Physical and emotional trauma, stress, lack of exercise, seasonal changes, diet, accidents can lead to blockage or imbalance of qi.
