Acupuncture involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as qi or chi (CHEE) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance. In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers and increases blood flow.

Sometimes, it’s good to look into health practices that have stood the test of time. Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine used to treat people for more than 5,000 years. It is based on the concept that your body has pathways, or meridians, through which energy, or chi, flows. If your energy is blocked and not directed properly, diseases may occur. When small acupuncture needles are placed in specific points on your skin, your energy is redirected to cause a healing response. Often, practitioners consider acupuncture points as places to stimulate muscles, nerves, and connective tissue, and as areas to increase blood flow and boost your body’s natural pain relievers.

What are the Benefits of Acupuncture?

There are many whole-body benefits to acupuncture. It may be used to improve your immune system, reduce tension, stress, and depression, decrease hot flashes and fatigue, and can even help towards your weight loss goals. Acupuncture might also be valuable in treating asthma, allergies, insomnia, and memory loss. It’s also thought of as a powerful pain fighter, helping everything from headaches and migraines, to arthritis, nerve injuries, and post-surgical pain.

In fact, The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as an effective treatment for a long list of common illnesses, to relieve pain and discomfort. Diseases and conditions that may be helped include fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, Crohn’s disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and multiple sclerosis. Acupuncture may also be used in cancer treatments, helping to reduce nausea caused by chemotherapy and surgical anesthesia.
