Acupuncture: A technique in which very fine sterile single-use needles are inserted into acu points on the patient’s body. According to Traditional Chines Medicine, the acupoints are functional spots along energetic pathways in the body called channels (or meridians), which cover the surface of the body and connect to the organs. The intended effect of acupuncture is to restore balance to the body by removing obstructions from the channels and by activating the body’s own defense and repair mechanisms. Usually between ten and twenty acupoints are needled in one session with needles.
