Following the assessment they will apply fine, sterilized needles just under the skin. These are placed in areas that according to acupuncture theory can release blocked energy that is causing your health problem and allow it to flow around the body properly.
According to acupuncture philosophy, the body has several channels of energy that move around. This energy is called “qi”. Sometimes the energy can become blocked and this causes health problems. The needles are placed on pressure points that can unclog the energy and make it move freely.
