Does it actually work?
There has been research in Europe and the USA to show that it is an effective and beneficial treatment for many people, but some practitioners are not convinced of its powers to alleviate more serious conditions.
The Original Beliefs Behind Acupuncture
At some of the spas or clinics in Peterborough Acupuncture is loved by many clients and your therapist will either follow the traditional beliefs of the practice or have more modern-day ideas of how it works. Traditionally, this treatment is used to create a balance in the flow of Qi, the energy force said to flow through the meridian channels throughout the body, when blockages occur in the flow of Qi it is thought to lead to stress, pain and illness. The needles penetrate certain points in the meridian channels to unblock and blockages so that the Qi can flow freely throughout the entire body.
Modern Theories On How Acupuncture Works
Today many therapists believe that acupuncture works on the neurohormonal pathways, the nerves are stimulated by the needle to send messages to the brain so that it releases hormones like beta-endorphins to create a feeling of health and wellbeing for the client.
What To Expect From Your Treatment
The needles used are hair-thin and the depth that the needles are inserted into the body will depend on the individual client. Most clients say that they feel little to no pain during their acupuncture treatment and often report that it feels more like a pins and needles sensation than pain. The needles usually stay in the skin for around half an hour.
