| ACUPUNCTURE Acupuncture is the oldest form of medicine known to mankind. It dates back more than 5,000 years. Acupuncture is NOT only for pain control. It is an actual treatment for illness and disease. Acupuncture philosophy states that our bodies are kept alive by electrical energy called CHI. This energy flows through very definite circuits, much like the electrical wiring of your house or your car. All illnesses and disease are caused by an imbalance of this energy. Using certain diagnostic tools, the acupuncture physician decides where the imbalance is occurring, treats the imbalance with the use of acupuncture points, manipulation and/or herbs and nutrition to restore normal energy and hence, normal health.
