what is acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment involves the stimulation of specific points on your body, acupoints, through the use of acupuncture needles or the massaging these points, known as acupressure.
Through a holisitc perspective, Chinese medicine believes each individual has a life force, or Qi Through a holisitc perspective, Chinese medicine believes each individual has a life force, or Qi (pronounced "chee"), which travels through the body in energy pathways called channels or meridians. According to TCM principles, all disease originates from obstructions to this flow or when the Qi becomes weakened, blocked or imbalanced.
Linked to specific organ function, these Qi channels impact on the balance and function of the entire body and regulate the nervous system, digestion, blood pressure and many other organ functions.
Acupuncture has the following specific functions:
- Initiating neurological (nerves), immunological (immune) and endocrine (hormone) responses
- Removing energy blockages in the body
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Increases blood and nerve supply to tissues
- Increases natural endorphin ("feel-good" chemicals) levels
- Enhances mental clarity
- Reduces stress
- Relaxes the whole body
Through inesrting very fine, sterile needles, into carefully located acupuncture points on the body that are positioned along the meridian pathways, acupuncture seeks to adjust the imbalances in the body's energy channels and supports the body to heal itself. It does this by correcting the flow of Qi and assisting in the release of natural chemicals to motivate the body's natural healing response and balance the body back to optimal function and vitality. As the needles are so fine, the sensation is very subtle. Patients often find treatment very relaxing.
Chinese herbal medicine, dietary therapy, cupping and other treatments may be used alone or in addition to acupuncture.
