About Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive system of medical diagnosis and treatment that has evolved over 5,000 years to help millions of people become well and stay well.

Acupuncture is utilized to harness the vital energy of the body and promote natural healing. It is a safe, highly effective way to restore health for a wide variety of physical, emotional, chronic, and acute imbalances. Additionally, acupuncture can strengthen the self-healing abilities of the body to help prevent future illness and disease.

The ancient eastern cultures recognized a vital energy, called “Qi”, that exists in all life forms and processes. These ancient healing practitioners developed a deep understanding of the body by recognizing that this energy flows along specific pathways called meridians. Disease is believed to arise when an imbalance (either deficiency, excess, or pathogen) manifests in the meridians and/or their related organ systems. Through its various modalities, Traditional Chinese Medicine can help nourish, revitalize, and rebalance the body and mind.

At WellPath Acupuncture in Cary, rather than simply masking symptoms, a thorough wellness evaluation is utilized to discover the root cause of dis-ease, including which meridians are affected, and a holistic acupuncture treatment plan is then based on those findings to restore health.
