Alleviate Pain With Acupuncture

Many clients may know little information on what acupuncture is, although you may have heard that it involves needles and that might have put you off straight away but it so much more than that! Acupuncture originated thousands of years ago in China as a medical practice used to alleviate pain in the body. There are many acupuncture points along the body and fine needles are used to penetrate the skin at these points to relieve pain by stimulating the nerves.

Now, in this day and age the practice has been modernised to treat clients will all kinds of pain, from nausea and headaches to the more serious aftereffects of chemotherapy as recommended by some doctors. Research from around the world found that acupuncture can be highly effective for pain relief and other various treatments and is not just a placebo effect, although many doctors are still unconvinced about the results for treating more serious issues. Clients can use online directories to ensure you book an appointment with a fully qualified and experienced technician for acupuncture.

There Are Traditional And Modern Views

There are many fantastic clinics that provide acupuncture in London, whether you would prefer to go to a traditional Chinese acupuncturist or visit a clinic of a local expert who was fully trained in one of the modern schools, each technician has slightly different techniques and theories about how acupuncture works but the results are always extremely beneficial.

Traditional Theories

The traditional Chinese theorists believe that the body flows with an energy they call Qi and when the body is injured, if from a disease, illness or general pain, this causes a break in the flow of Qi and disrupts the natural energy. Acupuncture is then used with needles penetrating the skin at the acupoints to allow the energy to once again flow along the meridians or channels of the body uninhibited.

Modern Theories

The modern theorists believe acupuncture works by using the neuro-hormonal paths in the body as the needle stimulates the nerve which then transmits a message to the brain to release hormones to reduce the pain. Many clients are shocked and highly impressed with the improvement in such a short amount of time, and you will certainly wonder why it took you so long to give acupuncture a go!

What To Expect From Your Session

Many clients are hesitant to try acupuncture knowing the treatment involves needles but the highly skilled acupunctureclinicians will thoroughly talk you through the procedure, answering any questions you may have to make sure you are most comfortable and prepared for the treatment to begin. Once the treatment begins, the client will lie down or sit depending which area of the body needs treating and clothes may need to be removed to gain access to the required part of the body. The fine needles are then inserted into the skin and the depth varies from just slightly below the skin to deeper if the client’s muscle is needed to be reached. There is very little pain if only a small tingling sensation while the needles are left in the body for up to 30 minutes to be most effective. Clients are surprised at how painless the treatment is and soon realise that they had nothing to worry about!
