Acupuncture Therapy

Table of Contents

Acupuncture is a 3000-year-old treatment protocol that originated in China. According to this system of medicine, the correct flow of energy throughout the body is what maintains an individual’s health. When there is a disruption in this energy flow, illnesses occur. Acupuncture and addiction therapy services can correct many problems that coexist with substance use, such as depression, fatigue, pain, or anxiety.

What Is Acupuncture Therapy?

Acupuncture is an ancient treatment where the practitioner inserts thin needles at particular points on the body at different depths. The Chinese traditionally used acupuncture to cure a range of conditions. According to Chinese medicine, the life energy, called Qi, maintains human health. This energy flows throughout the body in invisible channels or meridians.

Two opposing forces of yin and yang balance Qi. If the flow of energy gets blocked, many problems, including pain, depression, or illnesses, can occur. Yin energy is cooling and comes from the earth, while Yang energy is from the Sun.

Furthermore, traditional Chinese medicine believes there are 350 acupuncture points all across the human body that provide access to the Qi meridians. The objective of acupuncture therapy is to remove the blocks that prevent the flow of energy. By manipulating these energy flows, an acupuncturist corrects imbalances which leads to overall improved health.

How Can Acupuncture Therapy Help?

Acupuncture therapy is highly effective in treating substance use and related conditions. Acupuncture brings about self-healing by improving the functions of the body. In addition to needles, an acupuncturist may also use heat, pressure, or electrical stimulation to enhance effects. Some professionals may also use manual massage, cupping, and herbal medicines alongside acupuncture to promote healing.

Acupuncture can also treat other health conditions, such as:

Pain
Headache
Trauma
Repetitive strain, like carpal tunnel or tennis elbows
Rheumatoid arthritis

Osteoarthritis
Back pain
Fibromyalgia
Asthma
Stroke rehabilitation

An experienced acupuncturist can locate the Qi channels and deliver pain-free treatment. Most people don’t feel any pain, although some report a mild electrical sensation where the needle pierces the skin. Typically, acupuncture therapy treatment takes about twenty minutes. However, a session can last up to an hour depending on the individual’s health and needs. Most people feel refreshed, relaxed, and have reduced pain after acupuncture therapy.
