Acupuncture is generally used to maintain or improve wellness, to prevent disease, or to treat health problems. Acupuncturists believe that good health depends on the proper flow of energy, called chi, that follows invisible pathways through our bodies. Inserting needles into particular points along these pathways, they say, can tweak this force into proper balance. Contact an AltiusExtra provider for savings on acupuncture treatments.
