What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the practice of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner's hands or with electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has many acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced "Chee") through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health. Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for a variety of conditions.
What does acupuncture feel like?
Acupuncture is done using hair-thin needles. Most people report feeling minimal pain as the needle is inserted. The needle is inserted to a point that produces a sensation of pressure or ache. Needles may be heated during the treatment or mild electric current may be applied to them. Some people report acupuncture makes them feel energized. Others say they feel relaxed.
Improper placement of the needle can cause pain during treatment. Needles must be disposable to prevent infection. That is why it is important to seek treatment from a qualified acupuncture practitioner.
Instead of needles, other forms of stimulation are sometimes used over the acupuncture points, including:
• Heat (moxibustion)
• Pressure (acupressure)
• Suction (cupping)
• Impulses of electromagnetic energy
