ACUPUNCTURE

The oriental medicine considers the human body as a separate universe, according to The Yin-Yang theory. The human body maintains the balance with flow of life-giving energy. This energy, which is called “ Qi ”,  flows the body’s organs (zang-fu organs) to the superficial body tissues of the skin, muscles, tendons, bones and joints, through channels called meridians. If the flow of Qi is abnormal for any reason, the imbalance begins to surface in the form of symptoms. The acupuncture treats those symptoms by harmonizing the balance with gentle insertion of needles on specific meridians and acupuncture points. Recently, the acupuncture is commonly used for pain relief such as musculoskeletal problems, including low back pain, shoulder stiffness, and knee pain.

During this treatment, hair-thin needles will be inserted to specific points on the human body, to promote the circulation as well as to control the overall balance of system. It will cause a brief ache or heaviness in the area being needled. Most patients describe the sensations as fleeting and the treatment experience as deeply relaxing, and may even fall asleep.

By controlling the imbalance of human body, acupuncture treatment boosts the self-healing function to relieve pain and restore the broken balance. It is not only good for pain-related symptoms but also emotional problems such as stress, depression, insomnia and so on.

The acupuncture treatments are often combined with electro-acupuncture, ear-acupuncture, cupping and therapeutic exercise.
