Acupuncture
-

-
Acupuncture originated in China more than
5,000 years ago and due to its proven effectiveness has been embraced throughout
the world.
-
The effectiveness of acupuncture has been
repeatedly verified through various reports from the National Institutes
of Health, the World Health Organization and others.
-
Acupuncture usually never hurts, since the
needles are so very small, they often aren't felt.
-
Acupuncture is a health care system which
is used to treat disease, prevent illness and improve well-being. It is
effective for physical, psychological, and emotional problems.
-
Sterile fine needles are placed into the skin.
The art and science of acupuncture involves the choice of points, the direction
and depth of insertion, and the subtle manipulation of the needle in the
patient's body. All of these factors determine the stimulus the patient
will feel.
-
How does acupuncture feel?
-
Prior to their first treatment, many people
do not believe that acupuncture can be painless.
-
Different sensations, such a warmth or pressure,
may be felt but the energetic sensation differs from pain. People often
comment that the feeling is unfamiliar but pleasant and relaxing.
-
Acupuncture needles are very, very fine, about
the size of a thick hair, and honed to a gently tapered tip. The needles
are solid and nothing is injected through them.
-
Over the centuries, very refined needle insertion
techniques have been developed which enable the skilled acupuncture practitioner
to place a needle with little or no sensation.
-
Modern technology has brought the availability
of disposable needles. Those are the only type used at Brook West Chiropractic
Clinic.
