Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient’s skin at specific points on the body to various depths.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific locations (points) that will achieve a therapeutic effect. TCM views health as a balance of Yin and Yang energy. Acupuncture is used to balance energy and thus re-establish health. A TCM diagnosis based on observation, consultation and assessment of the pulse and tongue, is essential to determine the most appropriate points for individual treatments.
Points are located along pathways (channels) that carry “Qi” (energy). To determine the location of each acupuncture point, the practitioner will use anatomical landmarks and palpation. Once in place, needles are briefly manipulated to either strengthen or reduce the flow of Qi. Needle manipulation includes twisting, lifting and scratching techniques. Sensations experienced at the site of the acupuncture point or along the channel might include heaviness, warmth and/or cooling. An electrical sensation, numbness or a slight ache can also be induced with correct needle placement. These sensations are caused by the movement of Qi and are brief in duration. Acupuncture should be a painless, relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
