Acupuncture is a kind of Chinese medicine that has been in practice for several centuries now. The treatment method is based on a theory that energy, which is called chi, flows in the body of a person along pathways that are referred to as meridians.
According to the acupuncturists, sickness occurs when chi is blocked. Therefore, acupuncture works by unblocking the chi and helping it regain its normal flow in the body. When performing the procedure at our Acupuncture in Queens, NY, thin needles are inserted into a patient’s skin at specific points. Occasionally, pressure, heat, or mild electrical current can be used along with the needles.
We offer acupuncture treatment in Queens which makes better the body’s functions, and it also facilitates the natural self-healing process. The self-healing process is made possible through the stimulation of various commonly known as acupuncture points (acupoints).
Acupoints are stimulated through the insertion of extremely fine needles into the skin. The standard techniques that are used to stimulate acupoints include moxibustion, manual massage, cupping, and the application of herbs on the skin.
Acupuncture therapy is used to release the chi that has been blocked in the body. Recent research has confirmed that acupuncture is useful in improving the performance of the endocrine, immune, nervous, digestive and the cardiovascular systems.
The frequency of the treatment mostly differs from one person to the other. Some individuals experience spectacular relief after the first treatment. Individuals who are suffering from chronic ailments should attend two treatment sessions per week for a few months. For acute problems, the acupuncturist will discuss with you and come up with an individualized treatment plan that best suits your needs.
