Acupuncture is the process of inserting exceptionally thin needles into your skin at strategic energy centers in your body. The procedure stimulates your nervous system so it releases chemicals into your muscles, connective tissue and nerves to promote healing.
Acupuncture can treat many ailments and give you greater energy and reduced stress. It boosts your overall health and well-being.
Acupuncture is an effective therapy for a number of conditions. The treatment reduces stress, promotes good health, and prevents illness, and also addresses several acute and chronic conditions, such as:
Acupuncture is often used in conjunction with other therapies, such as massage and physical therapy.
Even though acupuncture involves needles, it doesn’t usually hurt. The experienced acupuncturist at Southwest Family Physicians is skilled at inserting the needles into the right meridians, which is generally pain-free. You may feel a slight numbing or tingling sensation at the insertion points. As the needles penetrate your energy centers, you will likely experience deep relaxation, so the procedure is quite comforting.
The needles are thin, so they don’t cause bruising and are sterilized and disposable, so there is no risk of infection.
You sit or lie down comfortably as the needles are positioned at the relevant points in your body to address your specific pain and relaxation needs.
The needles remain in place for several minutes before the acupuncturist removes them. Once your treatment is complete, you’re ready to go home – no downtime is necessary.
The number of treatments you need depends on your symptoms and your goals of treatment. You receive a personalized wellness plan that matches your constitution and response to the treatment. Many people experience relief after just one session, while continued sessions promote long-term wellness.
