How acupuncture works ?

1. History of Chinese Acupuncture:                                                                                                      Over the past 3,000 years, acupuncture has evolved into a complete healing system that includes the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions. This unique and ancient system of understanding of the human body incorporates the treatment of the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. Health and harmony is achieved through the correct quantity, quality and movement of Qi ( Chi ) exists throughout the body. Qi or Life Energy animates the body and protects it from illness, pain, and disease. Illness or lack of harmony,imbalance) is a result of the reduced quantity or  movement of Qi..
2. Acupuncture at Our Clinic:                                                                                                                      Most people feel relaxed during and after acupuncture treatment. Most of them feel progressively better after each treatment. For some people, the symptoms may seem to get worse before getting better. This “healing crisis” is best explained as a cleansing reaction. Usually, it will pass in a short time, no more than 5 days. The reason for the healing crisis can be understood  as the struggle of the life force (Qi) with the pathogenic factor. People may feel heightened sensitivity to the symptoms before feeling relief. Patients should not panic when this phenomenon happens and should report it to us and follow the practitioner’s instruction.
3. Acupuncture  for Pain:                                                                                                                       Acupuncture is a time-tested, safe, effective, natural and drug-free way to eliminate pain. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)  acknowledge the benefits of acupuncture in treating and eliminating pain due to a wide range of causes. Not only does acupuncture treats symptoms of pain and discomfort, it also gets to the root of the problem.Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes that there is a vital energy, called Qi (chee) circulating within  the      body. Qi flows through a series of pathways called meridians. Meridians are like rivers within your body. It brings water (Qi) that provides nourishment and life to the land, plants, and people around it. It is important for Qi to flow freely throughout the body. A blockage in the flow of Qi anywhere in the body due to injury or other reasons will inhibit the amount of nourishment that reaches our cells, tissues, muscles, organs and glands which causes people to feel pain and other symptoms.By inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points, an acupuncturist is able to break up blockage that has hampered the smooth flow of Qi.  Once this is done, Qi can travel freely throughout the body, promoting pain-free health, wellness and vitality
