Acupuncturist: Shabnam Pourhassani L.Ac

Acupuncture has been used as healing arts for over 2, 500 years. The general theory is built on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow called Qi throughout the body which are related to the organs and tendino-muscular system. When the energy flow is disrupted due to trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, or other conditions, pain or illness result. Acupuncture focuses on correcting these imbalances of energy flow by inserting ultra-thin needles under the skin to stimulate specific points in the body.
