Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, practitioners believe that your energy flow will further re-balance. In traditional Chinese medicine, the main goal is to balance your body and make it stronger, and allow the body to in turn heal itself.

Generally most people report feeling minimal pain as the needle is inserted. The needle is inserted to a point that produces a sensation of pressure or ache. Needles may be heated during the treatment or mild electric current may be applied to them. Some people report acupuncture occasionally makes them feel energized. Others say they feel relaxed, and many patients even fall asleep during treatment. Moreover, acupuncture can be done by itself, or combined with GuaSha or Cupping for enhanced results.
