Acupuncture is a holistic medicine that began over 2,000 years ago in China. Acupuncture is the use of small needles to free and aid one’s qi, often translated as energy or life force. This method of healing doesn’t just treat disease, it treats the person, combining the physical with the emotional or spiritual, internal being. Oriental medicine strives to heal with the idea 
that the mind is integrated with the body, that both must be attended to. The best results can be achieved from acupuncture when it is practiced regularly. Rather than a quick fix, it should be viewed as a lifestyle change, like eating healthy, or regular exercise. 
Acupuncture sessions can be just Acupuncture, or include cupping, bodywork, herbology, nutrition and postural alignment, at the doctor's discretion.
