About Acupuncture
We all have meridians in our body. Meridians are similar to rivers of little energy highways in
the body. They are all interconnected and correspond to specific organ systems and flow in
designated directions. Whenever Qi (our body's lifeforce, blood and body fluid) is stuck in a
specific area, something happens like a logjam in a river or a traffic jam on a highway, and that
part of the body will react, becoming painful or manifesting signs of pathology in an area
associated with its correspondent organ system. Similarly, when there is not enough Qi flowing
in a certain meridian, symptoms such as weakness and fatigue may occur, signaling that not
enough nourishment is being circulated to all or part of the body. Or if the energy goes the
wrong way in a meridian, like an errant car traveling the wrong way down a one way street,
other types of imbalance will arise.
Acupuncture in the United States
Acupuncture and Oriental medicine is one of the fastest growing forms of health care in the
United States. This explosion is due to the recognition by consumers and regulators of the
safety, effectiveness and low cost of this form of health care.
Acupuncture has been cited by the World Health Organization to treat over forty-three
conditions including allergies, asthma, back pain, carpal tunnel, colds and flu, constipation,
depression, gynecological disorders, headache, heart problems, infertility, insomnia,
pre-menstrual syndrome, sciatica, sports injuries, tendonitis and stress.
