Oriental medicine has been used as healing arts for over 5,000 years. The general theory is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow called Qi (pronounced chee) throughout the body which are related to the organs and tendino-muscular system. When the energy flow is disrupted due to trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, or other conditions, pain or illness result.
Oriental medicine is one of the newest primary health care professions in U.S.The benefits of acupuncture have become widely recognized and integrated with mainstream health care.
Oriental medicine treats and strengthens the physical condition, normalizes physiological functions, and controls pain. The aim is not just to eliminate or alleviate symptoms, but rather to treat the underlying cause, increase the ability to function, and improve the quality of life.
Acupuncture
is a primary health care modality that has flourished in Asia for at least 2,500 years and is used widely throughout Europe. Acupuncture is considered one of the newest primary health care professions in the United States. The benefits of acupuncture have become widely recognized and integrated with main stream healthcare.
Acupuncture focuses on correcting these imbalances of energy flow by inserting ultra-thin needles under the skin to stimulate specific points in the body. Stimulation unblocks the channels and encourages an even flow of Qi, restoring the body’s balance and relieving pain and other symptoms.
Modern Western medicine cannot explain how acupuncture works. Traditional acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of Qi (energy) and Xue (blood) through distinct meridians or pathways that cover the body somewhat like the nerves and blood vessels do. According to ancient theory, acupuncture allows Qito flow to areas where it is Deficient and away from where it is Excess. In this way, acupuncture regulates and restores the harmonious energetic balance of the body. In Chinese there is a saying, “There is no pain if there is free flow, if there is pain, there is no free flow.”
Acupuncture’s complex system of diagnostic methods take into consideration the person as a whole, not just isolated symptoms. Acupuncture practiced is based upon discerning the body’s “pattern of disharmony” and treating accordingly.
Since the 1970s when Acupuncture first became available in U.S., over 15 million Americans have tried it. Almost everyone knows someone who has had positive results. The risk is low and potential benefits are high. Knowing what to expect from acupuncture treatments can make a difference in the experience.
