According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, our bodies made up of pathways of energy called meridians, similar to our nervous system and circulatory network. Along these meridians there are more than 400 acupuncture points which have the ability to harmonize our energies. Traditionally these points are stimulated with hair-thin, sterilized needles. Disease are an indication that our body is out of balance. This balance concept overlaps with the Western Medicine principle that human body must be in a state of homeostasis.

ACUPUNCTURE WITHOUT NEEDLES
Acupuncture is a theory not a technique. Therefore, in case you are hesitant to try acupuncture because you are afraid of needles, there are treatment options such as lasers or electronic stimulation pens which can be utilized. The same acupoints are used but instead of manual manipulation of the needles, light or electric energy is used.
