CHINESE ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY

Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at acupoints on your body. According to TCM theory, acupoints are located on meridians, pathways which life force or vital energy runs in your body. Acupuncture is being used for balancing the flow of the body’s energy, which known as “qi” or “chi” to maintain overall wellness and treating diseases.

In contrast, many western practitioners view the acupoints as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Studies have shown that the stimulation of the acupuncture needle can boosts your body’s immune system, body’s natural painkillers, and also helps in mind calmness and anti-inflammation in the body.

The frequency and number of treatments differ from person to person. For people with a chronic condition, one to two treatments per week for several months may be recommended. For an acute problems, usually fewer visits are required, normally improves after 8 to 10 sessions. An individualized treatment plan that includes the expected number of treatments will be discussed during your initial visit.
