Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. The practice is based on the concept of balancing the body's energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"), which is believed to travel through pathways called meridians.
