  1. What Is Acupuncture and How Does It Help in Pain Relief?

  2. Acupuncture in Collingwood is actually a traditional Chinese practice, where body pain is healed by penetrating the skin at specific points of the body with hairlike, solid, metallic needles and then gently activating it with specific movements of the practitioner.

  3. Since it proved effective in curing issues such as low back pain, headaches,  nerve pain, menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia and many other bodily aches, now it is gaining popularity in the United States and other western nations as well. 

  4. As per studies, it has been established that acupuncture particularly works best on chronic pain. It as well deduces the tension and discomfort that headaches and migrains cause.

  5. Acupuncture in Collinwood and as well in other places, is quite safe, with very minimal complication rates. However, it is always wise to try it, only if the acupuncturist is experienced and licensed.

  6. How Does It Work? As per the ancient Chinese medicine, good health is formed with the harmonious equilibrium between the complementary extremes of “yin” and “yang” from the life force called “qi” (pronounced as chi).

  7. If there is any sort of inbalance between the extremes, it gets noticed as sickness. And “qi” is said to flow through particular pathways, in the complete human body.

  8. These pathways and energy flows are approachable via 350 acupuncture points in the body.

  9. Now, when fine needles are inserted in these acupuncture points, the disturbed energy flow gets back to its balance. 

  10. However, there are certain appropiate combinations and only a trained and experienced acupuncturist can conduct the process.

  11. For different types of pain, there are different points to be addressed. And only a licensed expert has knowledge about which acupuncture points to be reached for which type of ache.

  12. The patient will be asked to lie down on their back, front, or one side, depending on where the needles are to be inserted.

  13. The acupuncturist should use single-use, disposable, sterile needles. As each needle is inserted, the patient may feel a very brief stinging or tingling sensation.

  14. After the needle is inserted, there is occasionally a dull ache at the base of the needle that then subsides. Acupuncture is usually relatively painless.

  15. Although there is no scientific evidence that these acupuncture points are actually present in a human body, numerious studies and cases suggest that the method does provide fruitful results in certain health conditions, like chronic pain.

  16. According to modern medical science, it is also beleived that acupuncture is a concept of neuroscience, in which acupuncture points are treated as locations where muscles,

  17. nerves and connective tissues can be aroused. The arousal leads to the increase in blood flow, provoking the activity of the body’s natural painkillers.
