Acupuncture:  Acupuncture can be traced back to ancient China at least 2,500 years.  The theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are lines of energy (qi) that flow through the body.  When the flow is disrupted by exterior pathologies or internal causes, disease develops.  Acupuncture is used to correct the imbalance of flow by placing sterilized needles at pre-selectedacupoints.  The objective is to normalize the flow and distribution of qi, so the body can heal itself.
