Acupuncture & Chinese medicine

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical therapy using very fine, thin stainless steel needles to stimulate/treat specific points and organ systems. Acupuncture points have been "mapped" out by the Chinese for about 2,000 years. This treatment is used to promote health and treat organic or functional disorders. According to the World Health Organization, many common acute and chronic health disorders lend themselves to acupuncture treatment based on clinical experience such as:

• Ear, nose and throat
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• Eye disorders
• Neurological and muscular complaints
• Gynecological disorders
• Any type of local pain, strain or sprain
• Aid in stopping smoking or other addictions
