Acupuncture - An Ancient Solution for Modern Problems
Acupuncture originated in China thousands of years ago and is based on the concept of "Qi" (pronounced "chee"), the life energy that flows through channels, or meridians, in your body. When this energy gets blocked, it can manifest as pain or illness. Acupuncturists use thin, sterile needles inserted at specific points on these meridians to restore balance and stimulate the body's natural healing process.
For conditions like shoulder pain, tennis elbow, and even migraines, acupuncture for pain relief has shown remarkable results. Science backs it too! Studies reveal that acupuncture triggers the release of natural painkillers like endorphins and reduces inflammation in the body. Whether you're struggling with everyday stress or dealing with sports injuries, acupuncture offers a safe and holistic alternative.
What to Expect During an Acupuncture Session
Many first-time clients who seek Acupuncture treatment can feel hesitant about the needles. They are worried about being “poked” and that it might hurt. The needles used in acupuncture are incredibly fine—comparable to a mosquito bite, minus the redness or itch. Most clients describe the sensation as mild and even relaxing.
During the session, you’ll lie comfortably as the acupuncturist carefully places needles at targeted points. These points are often near trigger areas causing your pain, whether it’s tennis elbow, migraines, or tension in your shoulders. Many find the process meditative, with the stillness allowing their body to rest and recalibrate.
