What is acupuncture and how it works?
Acupuncture is the essence of eastern medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body channels to stimulate and balance the body's energy flow, known as "Qi" or "Chi." In Traditional Chinese Medicine, stagnant or blocked energy is the root of pain and disease. In a healthy and balanced individual, the body energy of “Qi” flows smoothly along pathways of meridians that run throughout the whole body. And the acupuncture points are located on these pathways, each corresponding to a particular body system, organ, or anatomical area, which if blocked, prevent proper energy flow causing imbalance. By targeting these specific points, acupuncture aims to restore the balance of “Qi”, support overall well-being and promote body’s natural self-healing ability.

You may feel a small prick with each needle. It’s less painful than the feeling when you get a vaccine or blood draw. Acupuncture needles are much thinner than medical needles. And they’re solid, not hollow.
The needles may cause some muscle sensations, such as dull aches or tingling. Your practitioner will ask you to report when you feel a deep heaviness or numbness. Those sensations usually mean the treatment is working.
In general, most people only feel a very small discomfort when the needles are inserted due to reaching a point that produces pressure or ache, but the discomfort fades quickly. patients feel energized or relaxed both during the session and afterwards.

The number of treatments depends on your condition, its severity and how your body responds. Most people have one or two sessions a week. Others get treatment more or less often, depending on how long the effects last. Your acupuncturist will recommend a schedule that’s right for you.
You may not get the full benefits of acupuncture on the first or second treatment. If you decide to try acupuncture, you should give it at least three treatments.

Acupuncturists who follow more traditional/ancient Chinese principles focus exclusively on directing the flow of “Qi”, or energy, through your body. Modern acupuncture applies Western medicine, using needles to stimulate your body’s systems. Many acupuncturists use a combination of both approaches.
Another acupuncture approach called Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling treating myofascial pain is widely used nowadays. This common condition involves muscles and their connective tissue. When muscles are stressed, strained or injured, they often form trigger points — tight, painful knots. A trigger point in one muscle can create pain in a different area of your body. Acupuncturists can use this technique to target trigger points to ease myofascial pain. They use needles to try to “unknot” the trigger point.
