Acupuncture
Specific therapeutic influence on bodily functions by needles on specific areas of the body surface.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and wide-spread therapies in the world. By inserting and manipulating needles into certain acupuncture points of the skin of the body, disorders of the body function can be relieved and eliminated. This treatment is based on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and underlies the belief that every human being has a various guidelines that are called meridians. Acupuncture points are located on these meridians and can be stimulated by inserting a small needle. The stimulation triggers a change in the body with the goal to rebalance the life energies (YIN and YANG), which is health.
Acupuncture works by stimulation and restoring the body’s own regulations. It is especially effective for pain relief therapies and functioning disorders.
