The procedure involves inserting various extremely thin needles to different depths in the skin of a patient, at specific points on the meridians through which it is said, according to traditional Chinese medical practices, that vital energy runs. Acupuncture practitioners believe that being in good health implies a balance within the body, allowing a free flow of energy, blood and nourishment fluids throughout the organs. They consider that illnesses occur when the energy is not in proper balance in the body or the energy channels are blocked or disrupt the normal energy flow. The treatments they provide aim to alleviate pain associated with various conditions and restore a good balance flow through the body. Sometimes, a holistic therapy, based on herbal medicine, is recommended together with the procedure. Although it has not been scientifically proven to completely cure illnesses, it is widely known as having some important therapeutic benefits, the most common being pain relief.
