A. How does it work?
Oriental Medicine is based on an energetic model rather than the biochemical model of Western medicine.
Traditional Asian Acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of qi (a fine, essential substance which nourishes and constructs the body) through distinct channels that cover the body somewhat like the nerves and blood vessels. According to this theory, acupuncture adjusts the flow of qi in the body, leading it to areas where it is insufficient and draining it from areas where it is stuck and/or super-abundant. In this way, acupuncture restores the harmonious balance of the body and its parts. In Chinese there is a say, “If there is pain, there is no free flow; if there is free flow, there is no pain.” Acupuncture promotes and reestablishes the free flow of qi.
What can I expect?
Many conditions may be alleviated very rapidly by Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. However, some conditions that have arisen over a course of years will be relieved only with slow, steady progress. As in any form of healing, the patient’s attitude, diet, determination and lifestyle will affect the outcome of a course of treatment. Patients are encouraged to actively participate in their healing process.
How many treatments will I need?
Depends on the duration, severity, and nature of your complain. You may need only a single treatment for an acute condition. A series of 5-10 treatment may resolve many chronic problems. Some degenerative conditions may require many treatments over time.
Is acupuncture safe?
When performed by a competently trained, licensed professional, acupuncture is extremely safe. All licensed acupuncturist today use individual package, sterile, and disposable needles. So there is virtually no chance of infection of contagion.
Does it hurt?
Acupuncture needles are typically not much thicker than a hair, in most cases, insertion by a skilled practitioner is performed without discomfort. You may experience a sense of heaviness or electricity in the area of insertion. Most patients find the treatments very relaxing and many fall asleep during treatment.
How do I find a qualified practitioner?
In order to obtain the best health care, you should seek a practitioner who has been comprehensively trained in acupuncture, and, mostly importantly, what experience the practitioner has had in treating your specific ailment.
