The vertebrae, which protect the nervous system, when misaligned or lose its normal motion cause malfunction of the nerves, affecting tissues and organs throughout the body, including the spine itself.

Acupuncture is based on the theory that essential life energy called qi (pronounced “Chi”) flows through the body along invisible channels called meridians. These are a series of interconnected acupuncture points. Each of the 14 channels relate to a different organ or organ system. Qi must flow through the body in these channels without interruption or blockage. A disturbance in the flow of qi can result in illness, pain, or a general lack of health. Stimulation of specific points along the meridians, according to Chinese theory, can correct the flow of qi to restore or optimize health or block pain.

Commonly seen conditions for Acupuncture treatment:
Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders
Respiratory Disorders (allergies, asthma)
Gastrointestinal Disorders (ulcers, colitis)
Circulatory Disorders
Urogenital and Gynecological Disorders
Muscle and joint pain/disorders
Neurological and Stress Disorders (insomnia, anxiety, headaches, smoking cessation)
