ACUPUNCTURE: WHAT IS IT?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient medical system used by the Chinese for over 5000 years. Although it may be ancient, it is still used in modern China and even many parts of the world today. Its effectiveness and relevance has been documented and proven by case studies and scientific researches.
This medical system is based on the theory of bio-energy (Qi). It is believed that imbalances (excesses and deficiencies) and stagnated circulation of this energy results in diseases. Undesirable symptoms such as pain are indications of such imbalances and stagnation, which may result from stress, injuries, an unhealthy diet, genetic reason or an illness. The treatment aims to restore the balance and circulation of Qi. Since symptoms are seen as signs of a deeper problem, hence finding and treating the root is the focus.
Acupuncture is one of the many treatment modalities of TCM. A traditional acupuncturist is one who is trained in TCM, and uses its theories, diagnostic tools and treatment principles. A typical treatment session begins with the routine of health questions, an examination of the tongue and palpation of the pulse at the wrist. This routine enables the acupuncturist to assess the vitality of the patient and make a TCM diagnosis. A treatment plan will be created based on this diagnosis. Acupuncture is performed by the insertion of extremely fine sterile and disposable needles into selected points on the body to bring about healing. Depending on the treatment plan, other modalities such as Moxibustion, Electro-acupuncture, Auricular acupuncture, Tui Na, Cupping therapy may be performed as well.
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system.
The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
