Acupuncture is a practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that uses stimulation of very specific points on the body to promote balance and healing. Traditionally, a very fine needle is inserted and manipulated to increase the flow of qi and blood through the area increasing circulation and promoting healing. Other methods can be used to stimulate acupuncture points, such as electrical stimulation, or certain massage techniques.
