Acupuncture developed from a philosophy that relates to the whole of nature. When the body is balanced, when its organs function in harmony with one another, then the energy within the body flows properly.

The acupuncturist sees pain and illness as expressions of an imbalance within the body’s system of energy. The goals of acupuncture are to address the imbalances that are causing the pain and illness and to restore harmony in the internal energy of the body.
