What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a central modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves stimulating specific points on the body using ultra-fine needles. In TCM theory, these points influence the flow of Qi (vital energy), blood, and body fluids. From a modern perspective, acupuncture has been shown to interact with:
The nervous system
Local and systemic circulation
Muscle tone  and connective tissue 
Stress and relaxation responses
Many people experience acupuncture as deeply calming, grounding, or restorative. Others notice gradual changes over a series of treatments. Responses are individual.
