What Is Medical Acupuncture?
The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that bodily functions are regulated by an energy called qi (pronounced "chee") that which flows through the body; disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease.
Diagnosis And Treatment
Acupuncture describes a family of procedures aiming to correct imbalances by stimulation of anatomical locations on or under the skin (called acupuncture points or acupoints) by penetration of the skin by thin metal needles. These needles are manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation.
