 Acupuncture stimulates the body to heal by inserting needles into specific points, called acupuncture points. These points run along channels of energy, called meridians. The acupuncture needle (along with heat or electrical stimulation) encourages energy to flow through these channels or meridians, which are often stuck. Think of a dam, holding back water to flow down the river. In the same way, stuck energy can prevent energy from nourishing tissues and cells. To find a practitioner near you visit Medical Acupuncture. |
