At the National Center for Integrative Medicine® your acupuncture treatment will build a balance between the body, mind and spirit leaving you with a sense of well-being. The connective force between the mind, body and the spirit is called qi (pronounced chee). Qi is the energy that flows through the body along pathways called meridians. When qi flow is blocked by injury, stress, disease or pain, dysfunction occurs.
Chinese medicine heavily emphasizes the prevention of injury and illness, just as chiropractic, naturopathic, and massage therapy do, as opposed to solely treating an already injured and distressed body. Many people use acupuncture as a health maintenance program to prevent sudden injury, illness or pain.

- Addiction
