About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the main forms of healing in traditional Chinese medicine. It is performed using needles that are placed on specific body points.
The process should regulate and adjust the flow of energy to return to as it should be and is used to treat many conditions and pain.
The basis of acupuncture is that when the body has health problems your energy flow is blocked, usually happens by 14 points throughout the body, which are called meridians.
With this practice, the needles are inserted into the meridians and thus change the electrical impulses, which causes energy to flow again as it should and you feel better. It is used to give relief to chronic conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, and some types of addiction.
If you decide to go to a acunputurista, he or she will take your medical history, symptoms will ask you all this information and try to understand your problem so you know where to insert the needle and adjust the energy of your body.
The needles are sharp and are sterile, and depending on the condition that they may have to rotate or move to pass a bit of energy. We also sometimes use a suction cup to further stimulate.
Although it seems very painful, it is not at all, because the needles are placed in only the most superficial of the skin, so I really do not feel much of anything. The time you are with the needles inserted also depend on the problem, which can last over an hour.
