Acupuncture dates back to ancient China without an exact date but with an exception of accounts from the soldiers of the Emperor Shennong of China. 


The soldiers would report therapeutic effects towards their health problems from arrow attacks within their bodies. 


Therefore after further researching further the theories and principles of Acupuncture were devised. From this period stone-sharpened needles were used which turned into finer needles made from bone. 


In this present day there has been much more advancement into the fineness of the needles and now sterile disposable needles are the regulated norm.
Acupuncture is used for treating and benefiting a various range of health conditions ranging from depression stress traumatic injuries headaches back pain sciatica tennis elbow knee pain acne vulgaris menstruation disorders dysmenorrea impotence disorder erectile dysfunction IBS migraines joint pains sleeping disorders and the list is near never ending.


Acupuncture is the treatment of Chinese Medicine where very fine sterile needles are inserted into points located around the body, due to their specific functions. 


These points are chosen according to underlying patient symptoms and are specific to each patient. The needles are a means to obtain ‘de qi’, which is the stimulation that one can feel during a needle when inserted into the body. 
This can range from sensations of energy traveling up and down along the meridians or even a feeling of heavy limbs and arms.


This is the very reason that so many pains and ailments in particular are easily benefited through means of acupuncture and clinical research is now showing this also. The sensations experienced become the therapeutic effect that is desired to help treat patient symptoms.
