Acupuncture
Acupuncture is defined as the insertion of ultra-fine needles into the body for therapeutic purposes. For several thousand years it has been used to treat a wide range of illnesses by improving the overall well being of the patient, as well as addressing specific symptoms.
According to traditional Chinese philosophy good health is dependent on life force (Qi) moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of channels (meridians) in the body. The flow of qi can be disturbed by many factors including emotional stress, environment, nutrition, genetics, infections and injury. By inserting fine needles into the channels an acupuncturist can stimulate the body's own healing response and help to improve vitality.
Modern Developments
Laser acupuncture treatment involves the use of laser rather than needles to stimulate acupuncture points in accordance with the principles of Chinese medicine. It is completely painless and stimulates the points via the application of specific frequencies of light.
Electro acupuncture involves the transmission of a low level electrical current through the needles which creates a regulating effect on the body. It is particularly useful in pain management as the electrical activity can help to reduce pain impulses in the sensory nervous system.
Treatment
An acupuncturist uses specific diagnostic methods in order to understand the individual pattern of disharmony that each patient presents. Following a thorough consultation needles are inserted at selected locations where appropriate regulation of the body can occur. This is usually a comfortable process and effects can be immediate. All needles are fully sterilised and only used once.
Many people from a scientific or medical background now suggest that acupuncture may help to regulate the nervous system, therefore helping to relieve pain and provide health benefits for a wide range of different conditions.
