What Is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is a medical practice that stimulates certain points of the body by penetrating the skin with a needle. Acupuncture helps to relieve pain in the body and is suitable to treat a number of health conditions. Derived from ancient Chinese medicine, this practice is now used in many hospitals as well as private clinics such as ourselves.
During this practice, fine needles are inserted into the body to pinpoint the places of pain, which creates a therapeutic and preventative treatment for all. The needles are used to stimulate sensory nerves underneath the skin as well as muscles in the body. The result of the treatment is that the body produces natural substances to relieve the pain such as endorphins, which are then released to reduce the intensity of the pain in your body.
Having acupuncture session on a regular basis will maintain the condition of your body and prevent stress or pain from returning, allowing you to ease any pains throughout your body, whether this is a constant trouble or from an injury. All needles are safe and hygienic to use but should always be handled by a licensed acupuncturist.
