"Your treatment was very helpful and gave me miraculous, immediate congestion relief . . . I enjoyed your calmness and the warm soothing atmosphere." -- Margaret
How Acupuncture Works
According to Chinese medical philosophy, energy or "Qi" circulates throughout the body along specific pathways or meridians. Along these pathways there are specific points which allow access to various body organs and systems. Pain and illness is caused by an imbalance or blockage of the pathways.
"There is evidence that acupuncture influences the production of and distribution of a great many neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, and that this in turn alters the perception of pain."
-- David Eisenberg, M.D., Clinical Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School
"I have no more hip pain since I came to see Kathy." -- Julie
