FAQ’s on Traditional Chinese Medicine & Registered Acupuncture
What Can Acupuncture Treat?
Acupuncture involves the painless insertion of very thin needles along specific acupoints in the body, helping to restore balance and stimulate the body’s natural healing ability. This traditional Chinese treatment focuses on the concept that the disruption of the natural flow of energy, or Qi, is believed to be the origin of imbalance, pain and disease.
By targeting specific acupuncture points, TCM-registered acupuncturists aim to restore the natural flow of energy throughout the body, called Qi, thereby alleviating various health issues. Receiving acupuncture can significantly improve blood circulation and address various conditions by promoting better blood flow throughout the body.
Acupuncture helps address the following conditions:
- Acute and chronic pain relief
- Arthritis
- Headaches
- TMJ
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Digestive concerns
- Allergies
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Menstrual pain
- Menstrual irregularities
How Does Acupuncture Work to Relieve Pain?
Acupuncture works by triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals, and serotonin, which governs our moods. Endorphins interact with the opiate receptors in the brain, reducing pain perception and promoting a sense of well-being. Serotonin, on the other hand, helps to stabilize emotions and promote relaxation, contributing to the overall therapeutic effect of acupuncture.
Why are Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Acupuncture Important?
Traditional Chinese Medicine has played an important role in healthcare for thousands of years. TCM doctors use a combination of herbal medicines, diet, lifestyle modifications and acupuncture in their treatment plans. It can be used to treat certain conditions on its own, but it can also be used in conjunction with Western medicine to aid healing and recovery.
