I always love this picture.

Acupuncture for a chronic low back pain patient.

The redness around the needles, in traditional Chinese medicine, is called ‘stagnation’, and refers to areas which have been congested for a long time with a lack of blood flow and Qi to that area. In this case it would be the tight muscles in that area causing it.

The redness reduces after about 10 minutes with the needles in, and as patients symptoms get better there is often less and less redness on subsequent treatments!

Pleased to say this patient is doing great and is fully active in our strength building classes now! 💪

A season of renewal and not decline.

What a refreshing way to look at menopause.

But if you’re in the thick of the symptoms it won’t feel like that!

How does acupuncture help?
Following the guidelines in the slides above we work on balancing and supporting the mind and body during the transitions.
So we help with creating more regular periods (works a treat for me!), aid sleep, reduce the intensity and frequency of hot flushes, reduce the intensity of brain fog…along with all the other weird and wonderful symptoms that join in! 🥴

It is NOT a quick fix, I’m very honest about that. This is a process that is natural to your body so we can’t get rid of all the symptoms, what we can do is ease them for you and support you along your journey so you don’t feel so alone.

Ideally weekly sessions are needed here. If not twice weekly. Which is where our multibed community acupuncture clinic sessions are ideal!

Moxabustion.

Part of an acupuncture treatment where deemed suitable.
Made from mugwort it’s a herb that is burnt either on the end of a needle like in the photo or held in what looks like a cigar, close over points in a pecking action; that particular method is used to turn breech babies!

It is used to help put additional Yang (warmth) in to the body, so great for some fertility cases, endometriosis, bowel issues, lethargy, chronic fatigue.
And it is used more in the winter months so be prepared to smell it a bit more in clinic.
The smell is quite ‘distinguished’ is the best description 🥴

So what’s the difference?

A brief overview!

Acupuncture: a degree of 3 years study requiring students to do over 400 hours of clinical practice before being allowed to treat the public. Yearly requirements of CPD’s to show continued study and safe practice.
Acupuncture can treat a wide range of conditions from pain, migraines, to hormone health, digestive health, fatigue, depression and anxiety. Based on traditional Chinese medicine concepts of how the body works.

Dry Needling: a weekend course of 2 days. Then you can practice on the public. No further requirements. Not allowed to needle the spine unless additional training and insurance. Dry needling is primarily for releasing muscular tension to relieve pain based of western medical anatomy concepts.

Quite a stark difference BUT I am not saying there isn’t a place for Dry Needling. It’s just that there are limitations.

Dry needling is a small part of what makes up acupuncture practice as a whole and it is usually limited to using local tender/trigger points at the site of the pain. This can sometimes work well but can be quite a limited approach. Usually most acupuncturists will use a mix of local points but also other points not necessarily in the area of the pain, but which can have a direct relieving effect on the area of pain.

Most dry needlers cannot do acupuncture, but all acupuncturists can do dry needling and generally have a higher level of training and also therefore safety!

I know which practitioner id choose ☺️

Electroacupuncture.

A modern approach to treatment that involves placing a low level electrical current on the acupuncture needles. This can enhance the treatment and improve outcomes.

It can be used to produce a stronger acupuncture treatment and is also used in the treatment of fertility, IVF and neurological conditions.

However its biggest use is in the treatment of pain. Using the pain gate theory the electrical stimulation can be targeted to specific spinal nerves to block the nerve signal and reduce pain perception. A bit like how a tens machine works.

It isn’t painful to receive, it can feel like a tingle or buzz or make your muscles twitch slightly.

All our therapists can deliver electroacupuncture if deemed necessary. Your therapist will decide if you are appropriate to receive the treatment as not all patients are.

Just some of the conditions we treat on a daily basis that are not the usual musculoskeletal pain conditions we often associate with acupuncture.

There’s a lot we can help with.

THIS is what sets us apart from those who have done short courses… more on this in future posts 🙃

Yin Tang acupuncture point.

Located in between the eyebrows this point is one of the most commonly used points to help calm the Shen or the Spirit.

Used to help in the treatment of anxiety, stress, insomnia it’s an all round brilliant point to help you on the pathway for mental clarity and emotional balance.

You can stimulate this point yourself by placing a finger on the point and gently moving in circles with a medium pressure whilst taking slow controlled breaths for 1-2 minutes.

SWIPE to see the possible outcome from overstimulating this point 😜

One of the most common phrases people will hear when they discuss traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Yin is our cool, our calm, our quiet, our rest, our winter months.

Yang is our warmth, our fun, our movement, our summer months.

Working with the seasons we are currently in our Yang months so embrace it!

Have the fun, socialise, do more of what sparks joy!

But remember it is about the balance. When you look at the YinYang symbol you will notice a little bit of Yin within the Yang and a little bit of Yang within the yin. Emphasising that they are not completely separate states; they coexist and are interdependent within our cycles of nature.
There are pockets of quiet within our warm summer months, and pockets of warmth within our resting months.
Keep the balance. 👌
