Key Takeaways:

• Acupuncture, a form of traditional Chinese medicine, is transitioning from alternative medicine to a staple in many U.S. clinics and medical practices.
• At the core of acupuncture is the belief that life force, or energy called qi (“chee”) flows through 14 basic pathways called meridians.
• When something goes amiss in the body it is believed that there is a blockage in qi that causes stagnation in the flow of energy.

“Hair-thin needles are used to penetrate the skin in order to promote the flow of energy. The choice of size and length of the needle depends largely on body type and the extent of the disease, Yang explained.”
