Traditional Chinese Medicine
A Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner or Acupuncturist explains illness and pain by considering a disruption of energy – known as chi or qi –in the body. If your Qi is blocked, the flow of blood is stagnated, resulting in pain and illness. By selecting acupuncture points to needle along specific pathways, or meridians, you can promote the flow of energy and help re-balance the body and flow to balance the flow of Qi to organs, glands and body tissues. In contrast, many Western practitioners view of acupuncture considers the stimulation of nerves, muscles, and connective tissues to promote circulation, reduce tension, and promotes your body’s natural painkillers and endorphins to be released.
Current research reveals that acupuncture activates the pathway between the nervous (nerve) system and endocrine (gland) system. Benefits of acupuncture may include:
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin, single-use needles into the skin and tissues at strategic points throughout the body. It is commonly considered for the treatment of both acute and chronic pain conditions. In addition to pain, Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture can help a variety of conditions related to hormone imbalances, stress and anxiety, digestive concerns, and more. It has been used for centuries to help treat acute and chronic illness, prevent disease, and improve overall health and well-being.
