One of the most common statements that an acupuncturist often hears in conversation is “acupuncture can help with that, I had no idea!” Acupuncture can help with a wide range of health problems from pain, gastrointestinal disorders, stress, migraines, and even to remove wrinkles! Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine and is still one the primary forms of treatment within hospitals in China. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which is also composed of tui na, moxibustion, qi gong, and dietary therapy. In TCM the body is viewed as a whole and aims to determine how your body is functioning as a whole. Once all of the body’s systems are reviewed, your acupuncturist will determine which acupuncture points are best for you.
Acupuncture involves the use of very thin needles inserted into specific acupuncture points on the body to achieve a therapeutic effect. There are more than 359 acupuncture points on the human body and each point has a different function. Your practitioner will chose which points are best for you and your specific condition. Each and every acupuncture treatment is tailored to what will be best for that specific patient’s condition.
Some people are often hesitant to try acupuncture because they believe that it will be painful. Acupuncture needles are about the size of a human hair. It has been shown that about 20 acupuncture needles can fit into the tip of a traditional hypodermic needle. The desired effect of an acupuncture needle is not sharp and stabbing but rather a dull, heavy or aching sensation. Once the needles are in, many people feel deeply relaxed.
Acupuncture is a safe, natural therapy that can help with many common and uncommon health conditions. Chances are that if you are hesitant to try acupuncture because you don't know if your condition can be helped by acupuncture, your acupuncturist has probably treated the same or a similar condition already.
