Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a comprehensive medicine, several thousand years old, which is still very effective today. It treats and takes into consideration all the spheres of the human being: anatomical, physiological, psychological, and emotional. In this way, it helps the body to regain balance, that is, health. Acupuncture is one of the five branches of TCM, the other four being: la Chinese pharmacology (medicines based on herbes), la diététique (l'alimentation), le massage Tui Na (Touina) ainsi que le Qi Gong (chi kong: gentle physical exercise for rehabilitation, rehabilitation and maintenance). Acupuncture is a so-called "energetic" medicine, that is to say that it uses the energy available to each individual and adjusts it to each individual's needs. Using fine needles, it is possible to stimulate acupuncture points that are located all over the body. Doing so tells the body what changes to make to recover from both musculoskeletal pain and internal disorders. What can acupuncture treat?
