Acupuncture is not “energy medicine.” It does not work by the flow of Qi (energy) through Meridians (invisible pathways). Current research demonstrates that the true concepts of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture operate under known physiologic principles that involve the complex organization of the neural (nerves), vascular (blood vessels), endocrine (hormones), viscera (internal organs), and somatic systems, and are sustained by the circulation of nutrients, vital substances, and oxygen. Acupuncture, the most researched modality for the treatment of pain, establishes neurologic homeostasis.
