Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, called “acupuncture points”. Acupuncture is based on the belief that there is a vital energy or “Qi” that flows through the body along pathways called “meridians”. When the flow of Qi is disrupted, pain and disease can occur. Acupuncture is believed to restore the balance of Qi and promote healing.
Acupuncture can help patients in a variety of ways, some of which are:
- Pain relief: Acupuncture is often used to relieve chronic pain, such as back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis.
- Headaches and migraines: Acupuncture can help to reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.
- Nausea and vomiting: Acupuncture can help to alleviate nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, pregnancy, and other conditions.
- Stress and anxiety: Acupuncture can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve mood.
- Facial acupuncture: Acupuncture that specifically targets the face, using thin needles to stimulate specific points on the face, neck, and head to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
