What Is Acupuncture
  Acupuncture is basically an alternative to western medicine, it offers a sort of fall back when modern medicine just will not do. It can be used to heal problems relating to bones, muscles, and joints. Acupuncture is one of the oldest known therapies in the World, it can be traced back to far east from a chart from the Ming Dynasty, some say it about 7000 years old, we know of historical records spanning back some 20 centuries ago showing that this therapeutic process reviving a patient in a near death and coma state.
This therapy involves the insertion of very fine needles on specific locations (stimulation points) on the surface of the human body. These specific points are along channels. Early physicians of China found over 1000 of what are known as 'Acupoints' around the body. They believed  that the body needs to work in harmony and that when this balance is disturbed the body will experience problems.
