For some 5,000 years, acupuncture has been used in the Orient to treat illness and promote well-being. Acupuncture treats pain and disease by inserting needles into the body to balance the body's energy system known as ki. When this energy is stagnant or blocked, many physical, mental or emotional disorders can occur. Acupuncture regulates the function of the body and increases resistance to disorders that attack the immune system.
