How Does Acupuncture Work?

 

Acupuncture is the technique where little needles are pierced into the skin in specific anatomic points. The needles don’t cause any pain. In fact, these needles help to improve the bodily functions and promote natural self-healing. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture helps in the freeing up of qi, or the vital energy of the body.

What happens during the treatment?

 

The acupuncturist would first ask about your health history and then examine you thoroughly to understand what the real problem is. Once he/she has done that, she would work out on a treatment plan. The acupuncturist would then pierce thin, fine needles into your skin. You might feel a slight discomfort or no discomfort at all. After a duration which might range from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, the acupuncturist would remove the needles one by one.
