2. The Incredible Benefits of Acupuncture by a Toronto Acupuncturist • Acupuncture in Torontois a component of traditional Chinese medicine. It is based on balancing the flow of energy or life force, known as chi or qi(chee). • Acupuncture needles are sterile and for single-use. These needles are much thinner than those used for drawing blood or for giving injections. In spite of the common misconception that acupuncture is painful, the sensation is akin to a small pinch, a mosquito bite or nothing atall. • The benefits of acupuncture are often difficult to measure. However, many people find it helpful as a treatment for painful conditions. Acupuncture has a few side effects so it is a good alternative if the pain is not being addressed by conventional methods. • Acupuncture points are spread all over the body. Often, these points could be situated far from the area of pain. Generally, the patient is made to lie on a comfortable table for treatment after which the following 3 steps are carriedout: • Needleinsertion • Insertion of needles is generally not a painful procedure. Since the needles are thin, the insertion usually causes littlediscomfort. • Needlemanipulation • After insertion the practitioner might apply electrical pulses or apply mild heat or gently move or twirl theneedles. • Needleremoval • The needle is kept in place for 15 to 20 minutes before removal. Usually, there is no discomfort during or after needleremoval. • Benefits ofAcupuncture • Acupuncture can cure a lot of conditions some of whichinclude: • Sciatica, shoulder pain, neck and back pain, headaches and muscletension • Walking, climbing stairs, joint pain and mobility problems due to range of motion
