What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the act of inserting very thin needles into very specific points in the body. These points have been used for thousands of years, and each point is believed to have a specific effect on the body. Combined with a thorough history and assessment by the practitioner, acupuncture is used to restore balance to the patient’s body. Acupuncture is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is based on the concept of the body being made up of a complex system of channels throughout that distribute Qi or Life Force to our tissues. If there is an obstruction, or imbalance, health issues occur. Acupuncture works to clear those obstructions, restore balance, and allows the body to heal itself.
Acupuncture is a complete medical system in itself, and is also an excellent compliment to almost any other treatment, including Western pharmaceuticals, surgery, herbal therapies, massage, athletic therapy, chiropractic and physiotherapy.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical practices that is still in use today and is used to treat almost all ailments. It is a drug-free, non-surgical intervention that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of many different conditions, including: depression, anxiety, insomnia, pain, headaches, allergies, asthma, digestion, skin conditions, common colds and flu, PMS, infertility, and addictions (acupuncturealberta.ca).
