What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. The origins of acupuncture lie in ancient China and can be traced back over 4000 years. (The first Chinese Medical Textbook was written 2,500 years ago).Specifically, it has success in treating:Back, Shoulder & Neck PainFertility Issues (Male & Female).Women’s Health, PMS, Painful, Heavy, Irregular, or the absence of PeriodsPregnancy Conditions & Childbirth“Frozen Shoulder”, & “Tennis Elbow” and other forms of TenosynovitisSide effects of cancer treatments (reduces nausea and pain, increases energy levels, assists sleep patterns etc.)Injuries such as Sprains, Corking and Tearing of Muscles, Torn Ligaments and Bruises.Headaches & MigrainesGlandular FeverAccelerated HealingSleeping difficultiesStress & AnxietyHigh Or Low Blood PressureFluid RetentionPoor CirculationAsthma, BronchitisSinusitis, Hay FeverInfluenza and The Common Cold (including: recurrent colds/flu’s)Diarrhea, Constipation, HemorrhoidsCystitis, ProstatitisEczema, Dermatitis, Shingles, Acne, Scar TissueEye Conditions such as Red, Sore, Itchy, Dry Or Watery Eyes, ConjunctivitisSciatica, Lumbago, Weak Back, Back PainRoss River Fever and Barmah Forrest VirusGeneral lethargy and fatigue, and Chronic FatigueArthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout.Although often thought of as a means of relieving pain, a wide range of illnesses can be treated by acupuncture. It stimulates the body’s self healing processes. The focus is on treating the whole body in its entirety, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.
How does Acupuncture work?
Laboratory research conducted in the past 40 years. Has shown that Acupuncture points have certain electrical properties, and stimulating these points alters chemical neurotransmitters in the body. The physiological effects of acupuncture stimulation have been well documented, and in the past 20 to 25 years acupuncture has become an increasingly established healthcare practice.
Acupuncture is one of the most thoroughly researched and documented of the so-called alternative medical practices. Modern research has described various physiological shifts following acupuncture, such as very beneficial changes in the body’s own natural painkillers, anti-inflammatory agents, immune system functions, and hormonal activity.
A series of controlled studies has shown evidence for the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, chemotherapy-induced nausea, asthma, back pain, painful menstrual cycles, bladder instability, and migraine headaches. Studies on acupuncture also have shown positive results in the areas of chronic pain management and in the management of drug addition, two areas where conventional Western medicine has had only a modicum of success.
For millennia, the acupuncturist has been engaging subtle human energies, otherwise known as “Qi” or “Chi”. According to time-tested principles unique to Oriental Medicine, the acupuncturist assesses and adjusts the flow and distribution of the body’s energies (“Chi”) in order to promote health and healing
