What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a system of medicine originally developed in China over 5000 years ago that uses the insertion of very fine needles into the body to stimulate areas called acupuncture points.
​
Approximately 365 acupuncture points exist on the body along energetic pathways termed meridians. These meridians correspond to the energetic functions of the organs.
​
There are also approximately 360 “extra points” which are known and classified acupuncture points without a meridian association and an infinite number of what are termed ashi points which are points usually associated with a local pain pattern.
​
While acupuncture appears to be one system of medicine, historically it was many individual family systems passed from father to son. As a result there are many styles and theories associated with acupuncture.
Acupuncture as it is taught now is actually a meshing of many of these family traditions.
​
Acupuncture was originally used as a surgical technique, today it still fits the legal definition of surgery.
Acupuncturists are highly skilled, highly trained specialists in this field, with over 3000 hours of training.
