An Ancient Healing Practice Backed by Modern Research
Acupuncture is one of several components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of very fine, sterile, single use acupuncture needles at specific points on the body, which correspond to a patient’s ailment or area of concern. Most patients experience no pain from insertion, others may feel a pinch, warm sensation at the site, or a sensation at a distal (other area) of the body. Any discomfort is brief; inserted needles should be undetectable by the patient. Most patients feel extremely relaxed once the needles have been inserted, and typically fall asleep during treatment. Acupuncture may be used in conjunction with other modalities, such as herbal medicine, Ontake/Moxa, Tui na, and cupping.
