At Physiocure, Acupuncture is used as a medical treatment which originates from Traditional Chinese medicine. It is a technique used to balance the flow of energy known as Qi, which flows through pathways within the body. A person’s movement, strength and overall health is influenced by the quantity, quality, and balance of Qi. When Qi is disrupted, it can manifest itself as pain, swelling, weakness, tingling or impaired function. By inserting fine needles into specific points within pathways known as meridians, Qi can be balanced allowing the body to heal itself. It is a safe, non-invasive treatment for a variety of conditions and symptoms.
