Optimal health is achieved through the perfection of uninterrupted flow of Qi.  When we experience disease, emotional trauma, mental stress, physical inkury, or have poor eating or sleeping patterns, it creates an imbalance in the flow of Qi in the body.

By stimulating points on the body, Acupuncture restores the natural flow of Qi to help the body restore itself to a healthy state.  It is also used to prevent the development of illness.

Unlike much Western medicine, the process of Acupuncture is partially dependent on the patient's involvement.  At times, a patient's actions can help accelerate the healing process.  For example, diet modification, exercise and the development of the skill to "listen to your body" will speed a patient's advancement toward optimal health.
