Acupuncture is a major medical modality practiced in private and public health settings in many parts of the world.
This centuries-old medical tradition incorporates many regional and specialist styles and uses unique treatment methods which stimulate the bodies’ innate healing response.
In scientific terms, acupuncture stimulates physiological and hormonal changes as well as nervous system effects. It is these measurable responses to the acupuncture effect that east Asian medicine defines as the “vital response” and described as “Qi”.
