What is Traditional Acupuncture?<\/h3>\n
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin, sterile, metal needles to stimulate specific points on the body, known as acupoints. They are one-time use, sterile instruments that are discarded after each treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThere are over 365 acupoints that run along mapped pathways throughout the body, called meridians. Activation of these points can allow the practitioner to control the flow of qi or blood to those areas of the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTypically, needles stay inserted for anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ ul_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_text_color=”#0385be” header_6_text_color=”#000000″ header_6_font_size=”12px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
