Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese health science used to treat pain and dysfunction, with origins dating back 5,000 to 7,000 years.
Acupuncture is a traditional form of therapy that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and restore balance. Rooted in Chinese medicine, acupuncture aims to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and treat a range of physical and mental health conditions by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. It is often used as a complementary treatment for conditions like chronic pain, headaches, and stress.
Its use spread throughout Ancient Egypt, the Middle East, and the Roman Empire, and later into Western Europe as merchants and missionaries to China told of the amazing discoveries the people of the Orient had made. Acupuncture did not become known on a national level in the United States until 1971, when diplomatic relations between China and America were relaxed.
At first glimpse, acupuncture appears strange, as its primary practice is the utilization of needles placed in the skin at various locations to relieve pain or affect a body part. Early Chinese physicians discovered there is an energy network traversing just below the surface of the skin.
Traditional acupuncture is based on Chinese therapy of the flow of energy through pathways that crisscross the body. Acupuncture allows the energy to flow toward areas that are energy-deficient and away from areas where there is too much energy. In this way, acupuncture regulates and restores the harmonious balance of the body’s energy. Acupuncture is performed by the insertion of thin, sterilized, disposable needles into the body at specific points proven to be effective in the treatment of specific health problems.
The World Health Organization has said acupuncture is suitable for treating the following: ear, nose, and throat disorders such as toothache, sinus inflammation, and earaches; respiratory disorders such as asthma; digestive tract problems such as ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, and reflux. Nervous system and muscular disorders such as headache, frozen shoulder, sciatica, low back pain, arthritis, and certain types of weakness or paralysis respond well to acupuncture as well.
Acupuncture can treat conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, stress, anxiety, digestive issues, and more.
