Understanding Acupuncture Part One
Despite the fear that some have of needles, and the stigma that needles can bring, acupuncture actually promotes body wellness and helps to improve the body's function and process of healing itself. Used either by itself or with applied heat or electrical stimulation, acupuncture is a method used by medical professionals where you insert needles at very precise points on the body. Many people think that needles cause pain, and though if used improperly they can and some do, acupuncture needles are designed to relieve pain.
Originating over 3000 years ago in China, the founders of acupuncture discovered over 350 points in the body and more than 200 points in the ear that connect with organs and their functions. By inserting needles in these precise acupuncture points, you can create stimulation which can treat multiple different conditions, including muscle pain. One of the most amazing things about acupuncture is that you can perform the treatment safely without side effects that come from other forms of medical treatment. Total Chiropractic and Wellness Center acupuncture practice engages in the safest and most effective form of this type treatment. Our experience in treating hundreds of patients, has helped us refine and practice this ancient Chinese medicine.
