Acupuncture was developed in China over 2000 years ago. Acupuncture is based on the understanding that there are channels of energy running just under the surface of our bodies. When a person’s lifeforce energy, or Qi, is flowing smoothly through these channels, we feel good. But when the energy is stuck in one area, or excessive or deficient in an area, then we can have pain and dysfunction. By placing acupuncture needles into points along these channels, acupuncturists are able to smooth out the energy flow and as a result, decrease pain and improve function. Whereas chiropractic care directly affects your structure via the bone and muscles, acupuncture affects your life force energy.
