Needles or other therapies are precisely applied energy delivered to these acupuncture points can unblock energy meridians to correct imbalances in digestion, absorption, circulation or energy production activities. Acupuncture has been used in the treatment of chronic and acute pain, neurological disorders such as post-stroke recovery, upper eye and ear disorders, addictions, depression, respiratory disorders, digestive disorders and urinary and reproductive disorders.
