Acupuncture is a primary health care modality that has been around for at least 2000 years and is used widely throughout the world. As long as the energy flows freely through these pathways, health is maintained. When the flow of energy is disturbed for any reason, there is disruption in health, resulting in pain or illness. By stimulating appropriate acupuncture points along these meridians, the energy is regulated, and health is restored. Most patients find the treatment very relaxing, Most are surprised to find how comfortable they are during an acupuncture treatment and how easily and painlessly the needles are inserted.
Some patients even go to sleep during treatment.
One of the great advantages of acupuncture is the absence of side effects. There is minimal risk of organ penetration. Acupuncturists are trained in exact location, angle as well as depth of insertion of the acupuncture needle to avoid any injuries. No two conditions or people respond exactly the same. The length of treatment depends on the condition, the severity, and the duration of the condition.
