Acupuncture in Gaithersburg, MD

Acupuncture is a component of traditional Chinese medicine, and it has been used in Asia for over 2,000 years. It has effectively treated many medical conditions for centuries. Acupuncture involves inserting thin, solid metallic needles into the body to stimulate specific acupuncture points to balance the flow of Qi (vital energy) along pathways known as Meridians.

Modern scientific research has shown that acupuncture promotes the release of body chemicals/ neurotransmitters, which stimulates the body's natural healing abilities through multiple network systems, such as the circulatory system, the immune system, the nervous system, and the endocrine/ hormonal system. Acupuncture enhances physical and emotional well-being. The FDA, NIH, and WHO recognize that acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of clinical conditions.
