Do the needles hurt?
Patients usually feel little or nothing! Acupuncture needles are so fine and thin – about the diameter of a human hair – that you will feel very little sensation when they are inserted. Some people report a slight tingle but not much else. Most first time patients relax after the first needle has been inserted when they realize how pain free the whole experience really is.
Acupuncture can release the stress?
Life in the twenty-first century can leave us feeling as if we are always running but never arriving. This constant fast pace can leave us anxious, negative, worried, depressed and feeling like we live in a pressure cooker. Most acupuncturists believe that our stressful lifestyles contribute in a major way to the blockages and inbalances in our flow of qi and is the reason so many of us suffer from high blood pressure, headaches, heart disease, anxiety, depression and other physical conditions that can be brought on by stress. Regular and repeated periodic sessions of acupuncture can help to keep qi flowing smoothly so that we feel less pressurized, more balanced, more in harmony and so more able to cope with life’s every day challenges. The sense of wellbeing that acupuncture can bring is an important factor in keeping the body and mind healthy and functioning at its best.
Does acupuncture relieve pain?
A: Pain is always an indicator that something is wrong with our bodies. Chronic pain, in particular, is often the major reason why Western people seek acupuncture, particularly after they have spent some time taking medications that mask the pain but do not resolve the underlying issue. There are many types of pain including different levels of aches (such as headache, tooth ache) etc, throbbing pain, stabbing pains, sensation of pressure, mental anguish, etc. Acupuncture’s world-wide reputation is largely based on the fact that it works by both relieving the sensation of pain and at the same time resolving the underlying issue that is causing the discomfort in the first place.
How do I explain acupuncture to my friends?
A: There is still a great deal of ignorance about acupuncture in the West and often the people who could most benefit are the ones who know least about its therapeutic effects. The best way often to introduce acupuncture is to talk about your own experiences and explain how it has helped you. There is no need to get technical – simple descriptive explanations are the most effective, particular if you explain the difference in how you felt before and after your acupuncture treatment. Let your friend know that acupuncture is about restoring a sense of balance, harmony and well being so that you can live and enjoy life to the full. Word of mouth recommendations like this are what bring most of our client to our clinic.
How many sessions are needed for acupuncture to be effective?
Typically, the longer the patient has the condition, the longer the course of treatment before they experience substantial or lasting results. Acupuncture can be done as often as five times a week, or as little as once a month. I’m ready to try it!
What illnesses are treated using acupuncture?
Both acute and chronic illnesses can be treated with acupuncture. Because everyone responds differently, the number of treatment sessions can vary for each individual.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an eastern form of medicine. The insertion of the needles produces natural chemicals in the body called endorphins, which help decrease your perception of pain. The overall goal of acupuncture is to reduce pain while increasing blood flow and stimulating muscles and nerves throughout the body.
What’s the purpose of acupuncture?
The philosophy behind acupuncture is achieving balance throughout your body. Practitioners believe that if you’re in pain, your body is not in balance. In treating the pain, acupuncturists try to find the specific acupuncture point that will address your physical problem, thereby putting your body back in balance. But I’m afraid of needles. The most common concern about acupuncture is the fear of the needles. However, the needles used are very thin compared to needles used for injections of medicine. You’ll feel a little pressure as the needle pierces the skin. Once the needle is in the muscle, there should be no pain.
How do I get started with acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an effective way to treat many types of pain, and has few side effects. If pain medicines have been a problem for you, acupuncture may be a viable option.
