Acupuncture is a Chinese medicine tradition involving the insertion of extremely fine needles into specific points on the body. It is the most well-known Chinese medicine tradition practiced in the United States today. The aim in acupuncture is to balance the complementary forces of yin and yang within the patient. Blood and energy—yin and yang elements, respectively—can become stagnate, blocked, and depleted. The practice of acupuncture releases the blockages that cause pain and dysfunction, renewing the balance between yin and yang forces.
Acupuncture has been acknowledged by the World Health Organization as an effective treatment for many ailments. Common conditions treated with acupuncture include:
- Addictions: smoking, alcohol/drug withdrawal
- Digestive problems: constipation, diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, gas
