ACUPUNCTURE
ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to balance the flow of energy, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"). This practice aims to promote healing, alleviate pain, and improve overall wellness.

How is the Treatment Procedure?

CHINESE MEDICINE
1. Initial Consultation:

  • Health History: The acupuncturist will discuss your medical history, current health concerns, lifestyle, and any specific symptoms you are experiencing.

  • Diagnosis: In TCM, diagnosis might involve examining your tongue, taking your pulse, and asking about your emotional state and sleep patterns.

2. Treatment Plan:

  • Customized Approach: Based on the consultation, the acupuncturist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and health goals.

3. Needle Insertion:

  • Placement: You will lie down in a comfortable position, and the acupuncturist will insert sterile, disposable needles into specific points on your body.

  • Sensation: The insertion is typically painless, but you might feel a slight tingling or pressure. The needles are very thin, much finer than those used for injections.

4. Needle Retention:

  • Duration: The needles are usually left in place for 15 to 30 minutes while you relax.

  • Experience: During this time, you might feel deeply relaxed, and some people even fall asleep.

5. Needle Removal:

  • Gentle Process: The acupuncturist will gently remove the needles, which is typically painless.

6. Post-Treatment:

  • Immediate Effects: Many people feel relaxed and refreshed immediately after treatment.

  • Follow-Up: The acupuncturist may recommend lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, or additional treatments to enhance and maintain the benefits.
