acupuncture points
Needle insertion sites
Acupuncture points are specific locations on the body where needles are inserted in traditional Chinese medicine.
According to this system, stimulating these points affects the flow of vital energy (qi) through pathways called meridians.
Modern practitioners may frame them as sites influencing the nervous system: The therapist targeted acupuncture points along my spine.
