Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing method that requires the
placement of small needles in specific points, along pathways on the
body, in order to promote healing.
Acupuncture has been around
thousands of years therefore proving itself to be safe and
effective. Acupuncture is a gentle treatment that usually leaves the
patients feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and relief from pain.
When asking this question, we tend to be thinking about specific
clinical conditions like 'asthma' or 'headaches'. Acupuncture,
within the framework of Traditional Oriental Medicine, focuses
primarily on the person, and secondarily on the illness. The
Acupuncturist usually views your symptoms (the reason you are coming
for treatment) as a 'branch' expression of an underlying or 'root'
imbalance. Your practitioner uses the diagnostic principles and
systems of Chinese Medicine to evaluate your root imbalance. A
treatment program is then tailored to address the two aspects of
your circumstance, the root and the branch.
