Acupuncture points on the sole of the foot correspond to various organs and systems in the body, following the principles of reflexology. For instance, the center of the sole is often associated with the diaphragm, while the toes correspond to the head and neck. These points can be stimulated to promote relaxation and alleviate pain or tension. Practitioners use these acupuncture points to enhance overall wellness and balance the body's energy.

At Max Well Health, we use acupuncture as a gentle, holistic therapy that works by stimulating specific points on the body—called acupuncture points—to restore balance in the flow of energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”). These points, of which there are more than 350, are located along pathways known as meridians that connect different organs and systems. By selecting the right combination of points—whether local, distal, or balancing—our practitioners create personalized treatments that can help relieve pain, reduce stress, support digestion, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being.
