Acupuncture – When needles can help

Acupuncture is a healing treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Special needles are stung into specific acupuncture points.
It is based on the idea that the body’s life energy, called “qi”, circulates on certain channels in the body and influences the bodily functions.
In a disturbed energy flow complaints and diseases occur. By needling the acupuncture points that lie on these channels, the necessary energy flow is restored.
So complaints can be alleviated or even remedied.
Acupuncture can be an important supplement to Western medicine.
