Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture has been approved by World Health Organization (WHO) with clinical benefits to various diseases and syndromes. Acupuncture treatment is a traditional method and natural way to keep healthy. Acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this medical system to diagnose and help millions of people get well and stay healthy.

An acupuncturist will insert fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints on the body. This activates the body’s Qi and promotes natural healing by enhancing recuperative power, immunity and physical and emotional health. It also can improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems. At the core of this ancient medicine is the philosophy that Qi, or vital energy, flows throughout the entire body. Qi helps to animate the body and protect it from illness, pain and disease. A person’s health is influenced by the quality, quantity, and balance of Qi.

Qi circulates through specific pathways called meridians. There are 12 main meridian pathways and 8 extra channels throughout the body. Each of them is connected to specific organs and tissues. The pathways of the meridian are like rivers. Where a river flows, it transports life-giving water that nourishes the land, plants, and people. In the same way, meridian pathways transport life-giving Qi to nourish and energize every cell, organ, gland, tissue, and muscle throughout the whole body.

When Qi flows freely throughout the body, one enjoys good physical, mental, and emotional well-being. An obstruction of Qi anywhere in the body is like a dam, backing up the flow in one area and restricting it in others. This blockage can hinder the distribution of the nourishment that the body requires to function optimally.

With acupuncture treatment, Qi is regulated by the needle inserted into certain acupoints. Practitioner can apply different technique to manipulate the Qi how to flow throughout the body, which improve body’s condition to bring the balance back. The real healing will gradually show in the body.
