What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is often seen as the definining treatment, of Traditional Chinese Medicine, though there are many other additional viable treatments.
Traditional Chinese Medicine in itself is a massive body of knowledge, incuding a long history of clinical usage for disease prevention, health mainteance and rehabilitation. As an encompassing term, it includes a wide range of therapies, from acupuncture to Chinese herbal therapy, moxibustion, pressure cupping, and so on.
The biggest question many ask - does it hurt?
Standard acupuncture needles are so thin, that they can fit within a standard hypodermic needle. With an experienced practitioner, most patients hardly feel them, or they'll feel as nothing but a slight annoyance. So don't be scared, this is a perfectly safe procedure that will not cause pain.
In traditional Chinese theory, the proper flow of Qi (natural healing energy - lifeforce) along meridian channels is necessary for the maintenance of health and bodily balance. Specific points can be needled using acupuncture to promote or to restore the smooth flow of Qi, reducing bodily disharmonies and attaining energy balance.
Modern research has shown that acupuncture can elicit biological responses, from activating various physiological pathways to psychological responses in the brain and periphery. Research has focused on the effects of acupuncture specifically on the nervous system, with the needles directly causing its effects through nerve connections.
Studies have shown the efficacy of acupuncture in applications including:
- Pain relief
- Injuries from sports and work
- Neurological and musculoskeletal disorders
- Paralysis
- Addictions
- Metabolic diseases
- Allergies
- Immune system enhancement
- Fertility and female disorders
- Cosmetics

Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into the skin and underlying tissues at specifically located points on the body. These needles are so fine that it can be fit into a standard hypodermic needle - it won't hurt.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion treats diseases through thermal stimulation by applying the heat produced by ignited “moxa-wool” or certain other substances over specific areas of the skin. It can be performed using needles or directly on skin.
Cupping Therapy
Suction is used to draw skin into the cup, used to dispel stagnant blood and lymph and improve qi flow, relieving pain. The cups are usually placed on the back, neck, shoulder, and other soft areas of the body.
Fire Needle
A more intensive form of acupuncture, heated needles are used in place of standard needles. These insertions are often deeper, and can cause more significant effects when the application of a small mneedle is insufficient.
Acupressure
Instead of a needle, physical pressure is targeted towards acupuncture points. This pressure may be applied by hand, by elbow, or using various devices, and may be supplemented by rubbing or rolling.
