What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture consists of the gentle insertion of fine, sterile, disposable needles into strategic points near the surface of the body. These acupuncture points have been accurately mapped over a period of two thousand years.

Acupuncture is not painful. In fact, most people experience a profound feeling of relaxation with acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the flow of energy, nerve impulses, also known as “Qi” throughout the body. Where there is injury, the Qi or energy of the body gets stuck or becomes deficient. The painless insertion of needles helps bring the body’s attention to the area and unlock the free flow of energy and electricity.

Qi flows through a system of twelve major pathways or meridians. Each meridian is connected internally to a specific organ such as the lung, liver, etc. The acupuncture points along these pathways can be used to affect a corresponding internal organ or other body tissue. When Qi in the meridians is balanced, the result is a state of ease, well-being and optimized function.

From a western medicine point of view acupuncture therapy causes many physiological changes in the body including:

• Vasodilatation (increased blood flow)
• Stimulation of hormones and neurotransmitters (improved “feel good” biochemistry)
• Parasympathetic nervous system stimulation (allowing for very deep relaxation)

For pain relief, acupuncture treatment invokes an analgesic effect by altering the body’s own natural pain-relieving opiate system.

Acupuncture works surprisingly quickly. Most patients experience a great reduction in their symptoms after the first acupuncture treatment.
