Orthopaedic Acupuncture in San Francisco

What is orthopaedic Acupuncture: 

Orthopaedic acupuncture is a specialised branch of acupuncture that focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and conditions. This holistic therapy is rooted in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which view the body as an interconnected system of channels through which energy/ qi runs. Pain is seen as stagnation of qi and blood in these channels. In orthopaedic acupuncture, fine needles are strategically inserted into specific acupuncture points along the body's meridians, aiming to remove stagnation and restore the flow of qi.
