Acupuncture for Pain Management
Treat Chronic Pain with Acupuncture
What is acupuncture?
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, practitioners believe that your energy flow will further re-balance. In traditional Chinese medicine, the main goal is to balance your body and make it stronger, and allow the body to in turn heal itself.
Western medicine views the meridian points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Acupuncture can therefore use these points to boost your body’s natural painkillers. This 3000 year old holistic form of healing is now widely accepted by modern medicine, even seeing use by the US military in the form of “Battlefield Acupuncture”. Sterile, single-use disposable needles are the standard practice and risks are extremely low when seeing a licensed acupuncturist. Acupuncture can be effective in treating:
The principle aim of acupuncture is to treat the whole body of the patient, and to create balance in the body so natural healing can occur.
How can Acupuncture Help Me?
Drawing from our experience of not only practicing acupuncture, but also research of traditional Chinese medicine, we have created a results driven system of treatment called Acutherapy℠.
Acupuncture is done using hair-thin needles. Generally most people report feeling minimal pain as the needle is inserted. The needle is inserted to a point that produces a sensation of pressure or ache. Needles may be heated during the treatment or mild electric current may be applied to them. Some people report acupuncture occasionally makes them feel energized. Others say they feel relaxed, and many patients even fall asleep during treatment. Moreover, acupuncture can be done by itself, or combined with GuaSha, infrared or Cupping for enhanced results.
How will i react to acupuncture
Reactions to acupuncture can vary widely from person to person, but many individuals report a sense of deep relaxation during and after their sessions. As the needles are inserted, you may feel a brief, mild prick or pressure, which is usually quickly followed by a sensation of warmth or heaviness at the site. This feeling is often described as soothing, and many people find themselves drifting into a calm state, sometimes even falling asleep.
How long until i see results?
After the treatment, some people experience immediate relief from symptoms, such as reduced pain or improved mood. Others might notice gradual improvements over several days following the session. It’s common to feel a sense of lightness or clarity, and many find their overall stress levels decrease significantly. Additionally, acupuncture can help enhance sleep quality and boost energy, leading to a greater sense of well-being.
However, it’s also possible to experience some side effects, such as mild soreness at the needle sites or temporary emotional release. These reactions are usually mild and short-lived. It’s important to communicate with your acupuncturist about any feelings you experience, as they can help adjust the treatment to better suit your needs and enhance your overall experience. Remember, everyone’s body responds differently, so your unique reaction is part of the journey toward healing.
