An Acupuncture Memphis Clinic

Acupuncture: What is it?

Acupuncture is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves the placement of thin, flexible needles along certain points throughout the body in order to promote healing. When these points are triggered, the body’s “qi” or life force flows freely throughout the body’s meridians. The “qi” is made up of bodily fluids such as blood and hormones. When they are flowing properly, the body is able to thrive and become self-sufficient in healing.

Acupuncture Needles: Not that Scary

For anyone who hates needles, these aren’t scary like the regular needles at the doctor’s office. They’re not made with sharp points to slice into the skin. Instead, they have rounded tips that push the skin apart. You won’t feel like a pin cushion! Acupuncture needles are steel metal alloys and merely tools used to correct the energy imbalances within the body. When the needles are positioned, the patient may feel numbness, heat, dull aching, or a tingling sensation in the vicinity of the insertion. This occurs if the needle encounters a blockage in meridian channels. Generally, the needles are left in place for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Acupuncture for Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is a huge roadblock in many people’s lives that is difficult to overcome. Depending on your circumstance, acupuncture could be the alternative health solution to managing your chronic pain. Using acupuncture as treatment, people may be able to avoid certain surgical procedures or stop the use of different medications. The wide variety of conditions and disorders it can treat is amazing when you stop to think about it. There is enough evidence that this ancient medicine can complement alternative treatments and help to provide patients with the best healthcare available.
