Acupuncture treatment involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain and treat various conditions. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it aims to balance the body’s energy (Qi or Chi), while Western science explains its effects as stimulation of nerves, muscles, and connective tissues to promote natural healing. It is commonly used for managing pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches, as well as nausea and other conditions, and is often practiced as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medicine to support the body’s healing response.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Acupuncture is based on the belief that qi flows through energy pathways called meridians, and inserting needles at specific acupoints helps rebalance this flow and restore overall health.
Western Perspective: Acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, which may lead to the release of endorphins (natural painkillers) and help regulate blood flow and reduce inflammation.
Acupuncture Therapy is an essential part of the complete Acupuncture Treatment plan. It focuses on choosing specific acupuncture points that match your symptoms and emotional needs.
