Acupuncture And How It Works
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. The needles are made of stainless steel and are used only once.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
Your body is genetically designed to keep you pain-free.
Your body’s central nervous system is extremely efficient at repairing problems and keeping you pain-free. Just think about how many times you have injured yourself and your body has fixed the problem.
What are the Benefits of Acupuncture?
Acupuncture Benefits
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
This is a question many people ask us. You will feel the needles but it is nothing like having an injection or being pricked by a needle. You will feel a little prick when they are being inserted. Most people won’t feel the needles while they are in so you can lie their relaxed during your session. When we remove the needles there may be a little bleeding and occasionally there can be a little bruising, which doesn’t take long to heal. Most people find it a very pleasant experience and extremely relaxing!
Why Do You Have to Feel It a Little?
Acupuncture works via the central nervous system. By inserting the needles in certain places on your body, acupuncture triggers your central nervous system to increase the blood flow to particular areas of your body. If you do not feel the needle at all, the central nervous system is not sufficiently stimulated and acupuncture doesn’t work as well.
I have seen this time after time when treating pain. Patients who feel the needles a little, need far fewer needles to get rid of the pain.
Your body’s natural healing capability is formidable.
In many cases your body is very capable of fixing itself. In your blood is a tiny army of natural pain killers (endorpins and enkephalins) which are as strong as any pharmaceutical pain killers, but with none of the side effects. These can stop pain dead in its tracks. Also in your blood is the repair crew (white blood cells, macrophages, collagen, etc…) whose job it is to repair the problem.
What People Are Saying About Us
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). While the mechanisms behind acupuncture’s effects are not fully understood by Western Medicine, several theories have been proposed to explain how it may work for pain relief:
It’s important to note that while there is some evidence supporting the effectiveness of acupuncture for certain types of pain, not all studies agree, and more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and effectiveness. Additionally, individual responses to acupuncture can vary, and its success may depend on factors such as the specific condition being treated, the skill of the practitioner, and the individual’s overall health. Before considering acupuncture or any other alternative therapy, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to discuss your specific situation and determine the most appropriate treatment options.
