Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a safe and effective natural therapy that is used to heal illness, prevent disease and improve well-being. Tiny, hair-thin needles are inserted into specific points in the body, where they are gently stimulated to trigger the body’s natural healing response. Acupuncture is effective for controlling pain and can regulate the body’s physiological functions to treat various internal dysfunction and disorders

Traditional Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a system which can influence three areas of health care:

  • Promotion of health and well-being

  • Prevention of illness

  • Treatments of various medical conditions

Acupuncture is particularly useful in resolving physical problems related to tension and stress and emotional conditions.

Acupuncture has been used throughout Asia for centuries to treat problems as diverse as pains, strains and sprains, sinus congestion, digestive problems, and infertility.

According to Chinese Medicine, the body is made up of pathways of energy called meridians, similar to your nervous system and circulatory network. They run up and down and front to back within your body. Acupuncture points are specific sites along these meridians. When stimulated with wire-thin, sterilized disposable needles, acupuncture has the ability to activate the body's self-healing mechanisms.

Acupuncturists agree with Western Medicine in their belief that in order to maintain health, the body must be in a state of homeostasis. Sickness and pain is an indication that your body is out of balance. The role of an acupuncturist is to re-establish balance and help your body to naturally return to its optimal state of well-being.

Widely recognized as an effective treatment to many disorders, acupuncture treats the root cause of the problem, without any of the side effects of Western drugs.

In clinic, there are different needling methods that an acupuncturist can choose from. The more traditional ones include filiform needle, three-edge needle and plum-blossom needle; the more modern ones include electro-acupuncture, scalp and auricular acupuncture etc.

Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture, a more modern form of performing acupuncture, is used for a variety of conditions, but it is ideally used for the treatment of pain. Needles are inserted as they would be for a normal acupuncture treatment, but they are then connected to a low current. This constant stimulation will effectively relax the tissue and muscles being worked on, resulting in an increased endorphin release (natural pain killers) and decreased pain. Electro-acupuncture is a must for most sports injuries and muscle related pain.
