Acupuncture is a method of healing that utilizes sterile, stainless steel, disposable needles to treat various disharmonies. The main objectives of an acupuncture treatment are to:
- Reduce pain and inflammation, release contracted muscle tissue, increase micro-circulation, support stem cell proliferation, affect neurotransmitter activity, and promote healing to damaged tissues.
- Alleviate symptoms such as nausea, anxiety, or dizziness.
- Strengthen the body’s immune system.
- Balance the integral functions of the internal organs, making for a unified, integrated, healthy person.
The World Health Organization recognizes that acupuncture can be used to effectively treat over 200 common clinical disorders, including- sports injury, chronic pain, arthritis, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, indigestion, acid reflux, IBS, common cold cough, and flu, PMS, irregular or painful menstruation, menopause, sexual dysfunction, UTI, asthma, allergies, migraines, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, addiction, and post-traumatic stress.
Electro-acupuncture has become increasingly popular over the last 20 years. Although the effects of acupuncture are still not fully understood, research has made some significant headway. Research has shown a strong correlation between electro-acupuncture and anti-inflammatory effects, the increase of blood and lymphatic flow, and analgesic effects through the release of opioid endorphins and serotonin. It is suggested that electro-acupuncture may also be linked to the up-regulation of cell metabolism and tissue repair and facilitate neuro-muscular stimulation and re-education.
Dry Needling is a specific needling technique that is based on neuroanatomy and myofascial trigger point therapy that is used with thin filiform needles without the injection of a solution. Myofascial pain is often associated with trigger points that may present with a painful and fibrotic tight muscle band. In response to needling this trigger point, the patient may experience referred pain and/or a twitch response. There is strong scientific evidence of the effectiveness of using trigger point needling techniques to treat musculoskeletal pain and neuromuscular dysfunction.
When you have a treatment, your practitioner will spend some time doing an evaluation- either a musculoskeletal evaluation or a tongue and pulse evaluation. They may then do some manual therapies such as cupping or gua sha. Then, you will relax on a treatment table, while the needles are inserted. Once the needles are in, you will simply take a 30-minute rest. Your visit to the acupuncturist should be an enjoyable experience, with noticeable benefits as a result.
