How Treatment Works

To treat any Qi imbalances, fine, sterile needles will be inserted at specific acupuncture points along the meridian pathways.

     

  • The selected acupuncture points will be related to specific organs, based on your unique issues and symptom.

     

  • Doctor may include other related therapies in your treatment plan, such as cupping or moxabustion.  Medical Qugong is another important aspect of acupuncture and TCM.
