Acupuncturists view disease and health disorders as imbalances in the body’ energy which flows through pathways called meridians. By inserting needles at specific points along meridians, an acupuncturist will help to balance the flow of energy and prevent or treat imbalances by opening the body's own healing mechanisms. Modern scientific study has confirmed that Acupuncture can create biochemical changes in the body that have beneficial effects and can reduce recovery times.
