Acupuncture has been practiced for over 5,000 years. It provides a means of influencing the pathways and directions of the flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body. When the energy flows freely, the body is balanced and healthy. However, if the energy flow becomes blocked, the body becomes prone to disease.
Thousands of years ago, Chinese doctors were able to ascertain the energy pathways of the body through which the Qi travels. They identified the locations where the pathways (or meridians) come closest to the surface. At these points, they found that by using extremely fine needles, they could influence the flow of Qi, producing either a stimulating or sedating effect. This procedure brings the body’s energy system back into proper balance.
The needles used for acupuncture treatments are flexible with rounded tips so that they easily slide right into the skin. Disposable needles are used so that there is absolutely no chance of transferring infections from one person to another.
Acupuncture has proven to be especially effective in treating conditions of acute and chronic pain. It has also shown to be successful in the treatment of degenerative diseases.
Usually a treatment lasts thirty to sixty minutes, depending upon the problems addressed. Some conditions are improved with one visit. Other treatments will involve multiple visits and are tailored according to the needs of the patient.
