Acupuncture Acupuncture is the targeted therapeutic manipulation of bodily functions through specific points on the surface of the body known as acupuncture points. By inserting needles to varying depths at over 360 acupuncture points, qi circulation is balanced and specific organ systems are stimulated or dampened. It is essential for classical acupuncture to be based on a diagnosis oriented to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Various related forms of therapy build on acupuncture: Electro-acupuncture works with very weak electrical impulses that are delivered to the body through the needles.
