What is acupuncture
You heard about apucunture, but don't know what is it.
Try to imagine China 2000 years ago! Yes, it's that old medical treatment.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing technique that involves stimulating specific points in the body by inserting fine needles. That points lie along meridians on the body. Each meridian is associated with specific organs. At least 365 points are described in classical Chinese texts with a possible total of more than 2000.
The Chinese believe that the needles help restore the smooth flow of qi, or energy flow, through the body. Any blockage or imbalance in qi, they believe, can result in pain and even illness.
Therefore, if you feel pain in your back, maybe it's time to find acupuncturist!
