What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture exists in China for over three to five thousand years. Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is the stimulation of specific points located on the surface of the skin along the energy channels known as meridians that connect all organs through the human body including the head, torso, arms, hands, legs, feet, and internal organs. The life energy which flows along the course of the meridians is termed Qi (pronounced chee). According to the TCM theory, illness arises when the cyclical flow of Qi in the meridians becomes unbalanced or is blocked. Such stimulation of specific points can help restore the normal balance and flow of Qi so organs and bodily systems can work together in harmony as intended. This sets the stage for the body to repair itself and maintain its own health.
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin made from silver alloy typically stainless steel. You may feel little or no discomfort as the needles are inserted as the process is typically painless. You may feel different sensations including slight soreness, numbness, warmth, or pressure. These energetic sensation differs from pain. People often comment that the feeling is unfamiliar but pleasant and comforting.
Acupuncture therapy has been used for thousands of years in China. Acupuncture is the treatment of choice for one- fourth of the world's population! The needles are FDA approved, individually packaged, pre- sterilized and disposed after a single use. Is it safe?
HowDoesAcupunctureWork? In traditional Chinese Medicine, there exists a meridian system through the human body. In this system, invisible passageways for energy are called meridians. There are certain points ( frequent more than 400, total more than 1,000 ) on the body that connect with certain organs and bodily functions. Point Groups on the body that apply to a specific organ or function are found along the same meridian. In a healthy, normal functioning body, the energy in these meridians flows freely resulting in a balanced system. When the flow of energy is interrupted from causes such as stress or injury, this energy is reduced throwing your "Qi" off balance. By performing acupuncture using the points associated with the particular meridian involved, this Qi or balance is restored.
