Acupuncture is a treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of healing that dates back thousands of years. At the core of TCM is the notion that a type of life-force, or energy, known as qi (pronounced "chee") flows through channels in the body called "meridians." Each meridian connects to one specific organ, or group of organs, postural muscles and joints that govern particular bodily functions. When too little or too much qi exists in a meridian or when qi stagnates or is blocked, illness results.

Acupuncture treatment consists of inserting thin stainless-steel needles at various points on the body, known as "gateways," to unblock or rebalance the flow of qi.
