What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a branch of traditional Indo-Chinese medicine that involves the insertion and manipulation of fin needles into specific points (known as acupuncture points) of the body. Its purpose in Indo-Chinese Medcine is to stimulate, or balance, the flow of the body’s energy (referred to in Chinese medicine as qi) which is believed to influence the natural functioning of the human body and its own healing process. It is therefore used not only as a therapeutic intervention but also as a means of prevention.Acupuncture is by far one of the most popular and well-established forms of complementary medicine practiced today outside China and the East.
What problems can be treated by acupuncture?
In the West, acupuncture is often associated with the benefits it brings to pain control, as well as it being a pop ular use as a complementary therapy for substance abuse. However, in the hands of a well-trained practitioner it is used to treat a much wider range of conditions. It may be used effectively as the sole form of treatment in ce rtain conditions, or as a support therapy in others.
Is acupuncture safe?
Acupuncture when performed by a trained professional is very safe. The number of complications reported is relatively low, however there is a substantial risk that a patient may be harmed if performed incorrectly by a non qualified or regulated practitioner. Needles used in acupuncture treatment are either pre-sterilized in an autoc lave, or are pre-sterilized and of single use.
What should I expect to feel?
A slight prick may be felt on initial insertion as the needle penetrates the skin, however it should not be painful. Once the needle is inserted to its correct depth and the needle is manipulated, people tend to feel a tingling sen sation or a dull ache. In other cases you may not feel the needle at all. This all depends on the type of stimulation the acupuncturist is aiming to achieve. If you feel pain, let your acupuncturist know straight away. As they may need to re- adjust the needle. Generally speaking most people find acupuncture extremely relaxing.
How long will it take before I see a difference in my condition?
Like most treatments this depends on the duration, severity, and nature of yo ur complaint. Certain acute condit ions may only require as little as one ses sion to see improvement, whilst other chronic problems will need at lea st 3-4 sessions. Chinese herbal medicine as well as dietary recommendations, and massage may also be pre scr ibed in conjunction with acupuncture; all which may help increase the efficacy of acupuncture.
What to expect?
The consultation: Like any other healthcare practitioner, during your first visit an acupuncturist will carry out an assessment of your general health and medical history. Most acupuncturists may also ask you questions about yo ur lifestyle, such as your eating and sleeping habits. In Chinese medical diagnosis, it is believed that the ton g ue and pulse give an indication as to what is happening inside the body and it is therefore common for your pr actitioner to ask to have a look at your tongue and to take your pulse at both wrists.
The treatment: During an acupuncture session you are usually asked to sit or lie down. It is common to be asked to remove some parts of clothing in order for the acupuncturist to access the relevant acupuncture points on yo ur body. Once your acupuncturist has identified the points that will be used, the relevant skin area is first ste rilized and the needles inserted. The amount of needles used per session depends on the acupuncturists’ style and also the condition they are treating. The needles are remained in the body for 20 to 30 minutes.
