Complementary Medicine

Acupuncture has been used effectively for centuries in the treatment of many conditions, especially the alleviation of pain. Acupuncture employs the use of very fine needles along various pathways, called meridians, through which the body’s energy or qi (chee) flows.

The imbalance in the flow of qi can be restored by the use of acupuncture.
