For many people pain and injury can have a debilitating effect on daily life and activity. This experience often draws people to seek a therapy that can bring relief from pain and injury.
Orthopedic acupuncture is used in China to deal with pain, injury and dysfunction within the body, whether it’s Acute or chronic. T.C.M and acupuncture aims to restore balance within the body, restoring normal function of the joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and improve local blood circulation.
With modern sterile, single-use, disposable needles, acupuncture has an outstanding safety record.
Rarely, patients experience temporary, mild worsening of symptoms before improvements begin to occur. Often the relaxing effects of acupuncture are so profound that patients feel a greater sense of well-being and vitality.
To obtain a therapeutic response, needles can be manipulated until the patient feels a light distending, cramping, warmth, or tingling around the insertion site. Sometimes these sensations are felt to travel along pathways in the body. The sensation typically subsides within seconds, but may be further re-enforced through manual or electrical stimulation of needles.
The practitioner may also inspect the patient’s tongue and feel the qualities of the radial pulse, which give important clues to the patient’s overall health status according to T.C. M principles. This information gathered from the consultation and examination is then used to reach a diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan.
Acupuncture is usually performed with a patient lying comfortably on a treatment table. The acupuncturist inserts the needles in the specified areas. After the needles are manipulated for a few seconds to produce a therapeutic stimulus, they are retained while the patient lies quietly for approximately 30 minutes. Supplementary techniques may also be performed, including Tui Na (Chinese medical massage) dependant on the nature of the condition.
