Acupuncture
Acupuncture consists of inserting very fine needles into the skin at strategic points on the body. Acupuncture, a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, is frequently used to treat pain. Its use is increasingly common to improve general well-being, for example, to manage stress.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force, known as “chi” or “qi,” which is believed to flow through channels (meridians) in the body. By inserting needles at specific points on these meridians, acupuncturists consider that the flow of energy is rebalanced.
In contrast, many Western acupuncturists view acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues. Some believe that this method stimulates the body’s natural pain relievers.
The initial evaluation and treatment can take up to 60 minutes. Generally, a frequent treatment plan for a single problem would consist of one or two treatments per week. The number of treatments will depend on the condition to be treated and how severe it is. In general, it is common to receive six to eight treatments.
