Acupuncture is a treatment that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, called acupoints, with the goal of balancing the vital energy.
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses an ancient philosophy that describes the body as two opposing forces: yin and yang. This energy flows through specific pathways, or meridians, which keeps the body balanced. When these forces are in balance, the body is vital and healthy. If this flow of energy is blocked, however, it can cause pain or illness.
Acupuncture can release blocked energy to relieve these conditions and stimulate healthy functions, triggering the body’s natural healing response. Research suggests that acupuncture has an effect on the nervous, immune and endocrine systems, which boosts the response to illness and promotes a sense of well-being.
Though the efficacy of acupuncture in treating certain conditions requires more research, it’s been proven helpful in treating a variety of conditions, including:
Other diseases or conditions may benefit from acupuncture treatments as well, such as:
Acupuncture is a safe treatment when performed by trained professionals and carries little risk or side effects. It can also be combined with other treatments safely and may reduce or replace the need for aggressive pain protocols.
If you’re considering acupuncture for pain management or for the treatment of other conditions, be sure to keep these tips in mind:
It’s also important to remember that acupuncture is not meant to replace conventional medical treatment but should be approached as a complementary treatment that can promote self-healing and symptom management.
Despite the mystery around its exact mechanism, acupuncture can be a beneficial treatment for those suffering from chronic pain conditions. Results can vary based on many factors, however, so the best way to see if acupuncture is the right treatment plan for you is to give it a try.
