Acupuncture is a treatment that uses very thin steel needles inserted into the skin to stimulate specific points in the body. The goal is to relieve a health condition or symptom, such as pain. The practice comes from traditional Chinese medicine. Scientific studies have confirmed its effectiveness for some conditions.

They can be used to treat stress and anxiety, migraines, allergies, nausea, vomiting, pain and more. You can do acupressure yourself, at home or work. You simply apply pressure with the fingers or another small object to the same points targeted through acupuncture.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Researchers don’t fully understand how acupuncture might work, but some theories include:

The needles stimulate the body’s existing systems to:

● React to an illness or symptom.

● Rebalance the body.

● Release natural chemicals, such as endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and neurotransmitters, chemicals that control nerve impulses.

Benefits of Acupuncture?

It is a flexible form of treatment that can target numerous health concerns at once. There is no universal response to acupuncture. Some people feel relaxed and may be a little tired, others feel energized and ready for anything. Some people experience an improvement right away and for others it can take several treatments before noticing a positive change.

Reduced Stress

While work is a major trigger, acupuncture has been proven to lower stress hormones and moderate mood to reduce anxiety and improve overall feelings of happiness.

Low Back Pain

The needles are inserted into the skin in the area of the pain and sometimes at other points in the body that are known to be connected to the areas where you feel pain.

Migraines

Acupuncture has been used to treat headaches for thousands of years. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce days with migraines and may have lasting effects.

Reduced Eye Strain

Acupuncture can relieve eye strain that is often connected to neck tension. Eye strain is a common complaint in the modern world with its heavy reliance on computer and phone screens.

Mental Clarity

Acupuncture patients report enhanced mental clarity and often experience a surge of increased energy. Improved sleep is an additional benefit, which is why acupuncture is used to treat sleep disorders like insomnia.

Relief from Digestive Conditions

When your digestive system isn’t working as it should, your overall health and wellness is damaged. Acupuncture treatment helps regulate digestive health and bring relief from these common ailments.

Reduced Cigarette Craving

Acupuncture can be effective in the road to quitting or reducing smoking habits. In addition to helping ease jitters, curb cravings, and lessen irritability, it also promotes lung tissue repair while increasing relaxation and detoxification in the body.

Tension Headaches

Patients struggling with chronic headaches and migraines who do not want to have prescription medications as part of their treatment protocol may find relief with acupuncture treatments. It may also be more effective than pain-reducing medications in treating tension headaches.

Energy Boost

Whether you are in need of a physical or mental energy boost to combat fatigue, acupuncture can offer tremendous benefits in fighting off exhaustion or brain fog.

Allergy Reduction

Regular acupuncture sessions are very capable of fighting seasonal and other common types of allergies. Boosting our bodies’ natural immunity and self-healing abilities, allergens are less likely to wreak havoc, and the frequency of attacks can be greatly diminished, as well. Acupuncture also treats the symptoms of allergies, such as a runny nose, puffy eyes, or scratchy throat, very effectively.

Controlling Blood Pressure

Rising blood pressure levels are a problem in modern society, especially with high-stress jobs and overall obesity levels on the rise. Regular acupuncture treatment combined with medical treatment for the cardiovascular system can help reduce blood pressure levels.

What Type of Needles are used for Acupuncture?

Commonly used acupuncture needles are made of stainless steel, with sizes from 26 to 40 gauge and lengths from 0.5 inch to 2.5 inches. Because of the small size, quite often people describe an acupuncture needle as a “painless needle.” The tip of an acupuncture needle is blunt, even though it is very tiny.

Today, the most commonly used needle is the metal filiform (thread-like) needle that is made from stainless steel. Very occasionally, silver or gold needles are used. Acupuncture needles come in different gauges (diameter) and lengths to be used on the different areas of the body where they are to be inserted. The needles remain in place for 10 to 15 minutes while you lie still and relax. There is usually no discomfort when the needles are removed.

An acupuncture needle is divided into five parts : tip, body, root, handle, and tail. The tip and body of a needle are the parts being inserted into the body of a subject on the acupuncture points. The handle and tail of a needle are the parts used by a practitioner to manipulate the needle. The root connects the body and handle of a needle. Commonly used acupuncture needles are made of stainless steel, with sizes from 26 to 40 gauge and lengths from 0.5 inch to 2.5 inches. Because of the small size, quite often people describe an acupuncture needle as a “painless needle.” The tip of an acupuncture needle is blunt, even though it is very tiny. Compared with the tip of a regular needle in the same gauge number, the tip of an acupuncture needle has less chance of cutting the tissue.
