Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is largely based on the philosophical concept that the universe is made of an energy called qi. This energy can be any state of matter or energy in existence. TCM believes that the body is a small universe, a microcosm unto itself that is a complex of subsystems of energy and matter, and that these systems work together to maintain a healthy mind and body. TCM believes that illness is caused by external and/or internal factors which disrupt the body's natural processes.

Acupuncture (from the Latin word acus, "needle", and pungere, meaning "prick"), as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a technique in which the practitioner inserts fine needles into specific points on the patient's body. The intended effect is to increase circulation and balance energy (qi) within the body. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.
