Acupuncture Sunshine Coast/ Acupuncturist Sunshine Coast

Acupuncture Sunshine Coast- Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine which has been around for over 5000 years. Acupuncture is used when there is a disruption of the energy flow or vital force in the body. This energy flow is said to flow through a system of channels or meridians. Disruption to that flow will manifest itself as disease in those parts of the body that are supplied by the affected meridian.

The aim of acupuncture is to restore the balance of energy flow in the body.
The most common type of acupuncture used today is through the insertion of tiny needles into specific meridian energy centres in the body. Acupuncture is not only used for pain relief but also for a wide range of medical problems. The word “acup” is derived from the Latin acu meaning “with a needle”.

Universal Energy consists of Yin and Yang and these two opposites, both complementary forces, need to be in balance otherwise disease or illness occurs in the body. This is where acupuncture is extremely beneficial.
