Acupuncture is a component of the Chinese health care system that can be traced back at least 2,500 years. The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy that flow through the body that are essential for health.
If there is pain or ill health, acupuncture is a form of treatment that re-balances the body.
