Acupuncture is the process of inserting very thin needles at strategic points through the skin. Mostly used to treat pain, acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique used to balance the flow of life force or energy. Otherwise known as chi or qi, this force is believed to flow through pathways in the body. By inserting needs into certain points along these pathways, acupuncturists believe that this energy flow can be re-balanced.<\/p>\n
Many Western practitioners see these acupuncture points as places to stimulate connective tissue, muscles and nerves. This stimulation will boost the activity of the natural painkillers of the body, or endorphins, and increase blood flow.<\/p>\n
Every practitioner performing Chinese acupuncture has their own unique style, often mixing aspects of Western and Eastern approaches to their treatments. To discover the type of acupuncture treatment that will benefit you the most, the practitioner will ask you numerous questions about your symptoms, behaviors and lifestyle. They might also close examine the following:<\/p>\n
The initial evaluation can last for about an hour and include other diagnostic options including Acugraph and Zyto Scans. Follwing appointments usually take about half an hour. A typical treatment plan for one condition is typically 6 to 12 treatments that are scheduled over a period of a few months.<\/p>\n
Acupuncture points are found in all areas of the body. Sometimes, the appropriate point for a certain area of the pain can be far from it. The acupuncturist will tell you the general location of the planned treatment, as well as the need for the removal or certain articles of clothing. If appropriate, a sheet, towel, or gown will be provided to preserve modesty. After lying down on a padded table, the treatment will start.<\/p>\n
There are people who report to feeling relaxed while there are those who feel energized following an acupuncture treatment. Take note, though, that not everyone responds to acupuncture. So if your symptoms do not improve within a few weeks after getting acupuncture, it might not be the right treatment for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
