Acupuncture and Its Benefits
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body. The practice of acupuncture originated in China over 5,000 years ago and focuses on the "qi," the vital energy possessed by all living beings which circulates throughout our bodies along 12 energy lines known as meridians. When the flow of qi is disrupted or imbalanced, this can lead to disease. Acupuncture restores the flow of qi by inserting tiny needles along meridian lines. There are approximately 1,000 acupuncture points in the human body.
Acupuncture is useful in helping treating many ailments including muscle disease, fibromyalgia, arthritis, asthma and more. It is also used to reduce stress, back and joint pain, neck tension, eye strain, and relieve digestive conditions and allergy symptoms.
Acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a treatment for emotional and psychological disorders, respiratory disorders, circulatory disorders and gastrointestinal conditions.
What to Expect At Your Acupuncture Appointment
Your first treatment will begin with an assessment of your symptoms, taking into account your lifestyle and behaviors. We will then analyze any areas of the body that exhibit pain and make a recommendation to proceed. Your initial appointment may take up to one hour, and follow-up visits are typically half an hour, depending on your condition.
There is a common misconception that the number of needles measures the level of intensity. We concentrate of placing needles in precise locations and though you may feel a slight pressure during placement but no pain. After treatment, you may feel relaxed or perhaps a burst of energy. Everyone reacts differently to acupuncture and we ask that you communicate with us after your treatment.
What is Cupping?
In some treatments, we can also recommend cupping to supplement acupuncture, Cupping is the process of drawing skin gently upwards in a vacuum, with cup over the treatment area. Cupping can stimulate detoxification and loosen congestion in the chest. There may be a temporary skin discoloration, but these marks disappear quickly.
