Acupuncture Minneapolis Minnesota
Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles in your skin at strategic points on your body. Acupuncture originates in China thousands of years ago, but over the past three decades its popularity has grown significantly within the United States.
Traditional Chinese theory explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force— known as qi or chi (chee) —believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. When needles are inserted into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
According to WHO (World Health Organization)
Acupuncture is effective for treating 28 conditions, while evidence indicates it may have effective therapeutic value for many more. People with tension headaches and/or migraines may find acupuncture to be very effective in alleviating their symptoms.
