WAYS ACUPUNCTURE CAN HELP WITH MUSCLE TENSION Acupuncture can help with muscle tension, and can also be an effective treatment in combination with conventional medical therapies. During acupuncture sessions, thin metallic needles are inserted into the skin, then activated through gentle movements with the practitioner’s hands or with electrical stimulation. Most people feel minimal pain as the needle penetrates the skin. Some people report acupuncture helps them feel more energized, while others say it relaxes them. Acupuncture is believed to stimulate the central nervous system, which releases chemicals into the brain, spinal cord and muscles. Studies have shown that acupuncture is effective for a multitude of conditions, including releasing tight muscles. Acupuncture frees up blockages that release tight muscles and trigger points so the body’s energy can flow more freely, promoting recovery. Skeletal muscle fibers contract when activated. After a contraction is complete, the muscle fibers relax, or reduce tension. Acupuncture targets muscle fibers in a contracted state as trigger points in order to relieve knots or tight bands in the muscle that can cause pain.
Acupuncture practitioners state treatments provide relief from allergies, stress, muscle tension, arthritis, addiction, insomnia, migraines, digestive disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, and many of the other conditions are including digestive, emotional, musculoskeletal, gynecological, neurological, and respiratory conditions. Acupuncture is a safe and non-invasive health treatment with origins dating back thousands of years. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced "chee") through the body that is responsible for overall health. Acupuncture is a drug free approach to restoring balance in the body by clearing blocked energy, and allowing that energy, or Qi, to flow through lines in the body. The extremely thin needles inserted into the skin at strategic body points results in increased blood flow, relaxation and pain relief. A good acupuncturist must be a licensed or certified acupuncture practitioner. They should be knowledgeable in traditional Chinese medicine. Research the costs involved with acupuncture and the number of recommended treatments, because some are covered by insurance carriers. Ask for referrals from family and friends. FOR REFERENCE
