Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine is a holistic and humanistic system that views health as a harmonious relationship between a human’s internal condition and external environment. Acupuncture uses needles to stimulate certain points of the body that are associated with energy flow. It has been used to cure illnesses in China for thousands of years and is now becoming increasingly popular in the west. It’s mostly used to reduce body pain but it recently became popular with physiotherapists who use it to treat illnesses and musculoskeletal injuries. It is a technique in which thin needles are inserted into the body to stimulate certain points to alleviate pain, muscle tightness and to help restore normal function to the Musculoskeletal system.
