So what is Acupuncture? It's science; clinically successful and proven for over 3,000 years. Acupuncture is just one modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and involves the insertion of painless, filament-like needles into specific points on the body. Our bodies are fundamentally composed of energy, known to us in Traditional Chinese terms as "Qi" (pronounced "Ch-eee").
In the Western world, we accept a similar idea via a law of physics Einstein developed. This law states that everything is made up. On previous pages you may have read some of the parallels to the Western perspective on how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be interpreted. It is critical to understand that TCM is a complex, complete medical system that honestly, looks nothing like Western Medicine in.

Acupuncture is just one modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and involves the insertion of painless, filament-like needles into specific points on the body. A fundamental premise of TCM is that the body has "Channels", mapped much like the pathways of our circulatory and nervous system in Western medicine.

In the Western world, we accept a similar idea via a law of physics Einstein developed. This law states that everything is made up of "matter" and that energy can neither be created or destroyed, only rearranged.

Erin is fantastic! I was new and quite nervous to acupuncture. However, Erin is such a great educator that I soon had better understanding of what was going on with my body and how acupuncture and Chinese Medicine could help. And it did!! Now, I go every few months to maintain my overall health. Thank you Erin!
