Chinese Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing arts that exist. Over the millennia, as a powerful medical tool, Acupuncture has been used to treat billions of people in a safe, painless and effective way, with the focus on regaining health and addressing a variety of conditions. The Eastern philosophy behind acupuncture is that health depends on the vital flow of a life-force energy called Qi that circulates through our body along pathways called Meridians. Along these meridians are several hundred therapeutic acupuncture points, which are similar to rest stops along a highway. It’s believed that illness and pain indicate a disruption, or traffic jam, in the normal flow of Qi. Inserting hair-thin Needles into acupuncture points serves to unblock the flow of Qi, prompts the release of endorphins (the natural painkillers), and some other chemicals, to relieve pain, promote healing, and improve well being.
In recent years, acupuncture has been gaining more awareness in the west. Millions of people in the United States alone have tried acupuncture to relieve intractable pain. Many others have used it as a way to avoid surgery or the side effects associated with drugs.
Oriental Medicine excels more in the areas of chronic problems and preventive medicine while Western Medicine is superior in trauma care and acute-problem therapies. Combining the best of both is powerful medicine.
