About Acupuncture
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an Ancient Asian healing technique, based on the Taoist philosophy of balancing energy meridians within the body. Fine needles are painlessly inserted at key points corresponding to body organs to relieve pain and improve body function.
How does Acupuncture work?
An energy force, known as Qi (pronounced 'Chee'), flows throughout the body along pathways called 'meridians'. If the flow of Qi is insufficient or blocked, the body becomes unbalanced and disease may occur. Acupuncture points are specific locations where meridians come to the surface of the skin. Acupuncture needles are gently inserted at these points to restore the flow of Qi and thus, restore balance within the body.
What should I expect during my first Acupuncture session?
The first Acupuncture session is usually 90 minutes and regular sessions are typically 60 minutes. Though the insertion of needles might not sound appealing, the reality is that the fine needles cause little discomfort if any at all. Once the needles are inserted, most people find this experience to be quite relaxing.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry Needling has become very popular to treat acute muscular tension and spasm which commonly accompanies conditions such as arthritis, nerve irritation, muscular strain, ligament strains, and herniated discs. The primary goal of Dry Needling is to target supersensitive structures in the body, to restore motion and function, and to induce a healing response to the tissue. Dry Needling has recently become very popular and the desired treatment for experienced practitioners because it quickly provides quick and tangible results when complemented with massage therapy, chiropractic, physical therapy, and other movement therapy.
