Understanding Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine component that involves the placement of small needles in different areas of the body. The placement of the needles is strategic, providing pain relief to certain areas based on your wellness concerns. Many people wonder if acupuncture hurts because it involves the use of needles. Most people do not notice the insertion of the needles at all. In fact, some people find it quite relaxing.

The Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture provides many benefits, both mental and physical. One of the biggest benefits of acupuncture is the relaxing nature of the treatment sessions. You will concentrate on your breath as the needles are inserted, and the quiet will help you achieve mindfulness. Acupuncture also improves blood circulation. As more blood circulates throughout the area, so does more oxygen. This speeds up the healing process in the injured area.

Conditions Treated With Acupuncture

An acupuncturist may recommend treatment for various conditions. You may consider this treatment if you experience:

  • Insomnia
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Back pain
  • Knee pain
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

Acupuncture provides treatment for these conditions without medication or surgery. Even if your condition is not on this list, we can help you determine if acupuncture will be helpful.

Pair Acupuncture With Other Treatments

Did you know you can pair acupuncture with a variety of other treatment modalities? You might consider other treatment options that can speed up healing.

Cupping Therapy - This form of therapy uses suction against the skin to improve circulation and blood flow to an area.

Gua Sha - An acupuncturist will scrape the skin with a massage tool. Gua sha improves blood circulation throughout the body, which can help treat chronic pain.
