What is acupuncture?
The main theory of acupuncture is based on the existence of energy channels. These channels cover our entire body. Energy, called Chee, flows through these channels. Chinese physicians have been researching for years to find the point where the needle enters the body. Each point belongs to a specific organ.
According to acupuncturists, a person becomes ill when energy channels are closed or energy flows unbalanced. Acupuncture is a way to remove blockages and balance energy flow. Endorphins are also released in the brain as the needle enters the body. Endorphins are a natural analgesic and help relieve pain.
How do needles feel during acupuncture?
One of the questionable aspects of this medicine is the simultaneous insertion of needles for a relatively long time. The needles used in acupuncture and injection needles are 0.3-0.16 and 2-0.6 mm thick, respectively. Comparing these numbers, we find that the thickness of the thickest acupuncture needle is much less than the thinnest injection needle. The reason for this difference is the presence of a groove in the injection needles that are inserted to inject the drug, while in acupuncture drug does not enter the body.
For many clients, getting a needle into the body is like hitting a sewing needle with very little pressure. Occasionally there may be a slight burning, itching, numbness, or pain. According to experts, the cause of these feelings is the flow of energy in the channels.
What is the acupuncture treatment procedure?
First, the acupuncturist will ask you to fill out a questionnaire to determine your health status. The specialist then identifies the points where the energy flow is blocked or disturbed. Each of these points is related to a part of the body. Eventually, the very thin needles enter the body at different depths.
The reason for the difference in the inlet depth of the needles is the different degree of energy imbalance in the channels. Therefore, they need more or less depth to restore energy to its original state. The duration of treatment in each session for different people and depending on the skills of specialists may vary from 15 minutes to an hour each session.
