 Acupuncture is used to treat the
symptoms, and eliminate the root cause of health
care problems. Acupuncture procedures
incorporate tiny, hair-thin pins that are
shallowly inserted on the surface of the skin at
areas of the anatomy called acupuncture
points. These acupuncture points reflect the
natural, electrical, inherent energy flow that
moves through every living being. This energy is
called "Qi" by the ancient
Chinese. Disease or imbalance in body results
from improper flow of this energy. A trained
acupuncturist knows how to affect these
acupuncture points so that proper energy flow
can be obtained, thereby correcting the disease
or imbalance and helping to reduce pain and heal
areas of ill health.
Eastern concepts/theories about medicine date
back 5,000 years and are incorporated as bona
fide healing systems of the world’s 6.6 billion
2007 population; one-third, or, 2.2 billion use
different aspects of Oriental medicine. Many people decide to visit an acupuncturist
as a last resort when, in fact, the
acupuncturist should have been the first choice
of health care. When Western therapies
haven’t been successful, or time doesn’t heal
the problem, the patient's condition will have
deteriorated, causing a delay in the healing
process, and, more likely, a longer course of
treatment.
How Many Treatments?
Most Conditions require a series of
treatments.
Effective treatments and optimum results require
frequent visits in the beginning and attention
on the part of your doctor. Since each
person is unique, the number of treatments
needed will vary. Among the determining
factors are the type of condition, whether the
condition is chronic or acute, and the vitality
of the individual. Again, you should
discuss your treatment program with your
acupuncturist. A treatment program can
range from 3-15 treatments.
