What is Acupuncture
As a part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is inserting thin, sterile needles into particular points on the body. These spots are associated with pathways that control nervous system, blood circulation and energy flow. It is based on the idea that energy, Qi flows through the body along pathways called meridians, when Qi is blocked or unbalanced, it can cause illness or pain. At Perfect Posture Chiropractic & Wellness clinic, our naturopathic doctor administers acupuncture therapy to naturally relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve wellness. This traditional Chinese medicine technique is a safe and evidence-based approach that naturally stimulates healing.
