Acupuncture Treatment
What Is Acupuncture Treatment?
Acupuncture is a centuries-old healing practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, with a history spanning over 3,000 years. The foundation of acupuncture lies in the belief that the human body has distinct energy patterns vital to maintaining health. Disruptions or imbalances in these energy levels, also known as “Qi” (pronounced “chee”), are believed to be the underlying cause of illness.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the body’s energy flows through pathways known as meridians, and a balance between two opposing forces, yin and yang, ensures optimal health. When this balance is disrupted, it results in blockages of Qi, leading to ailments.
Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural self-healing processes by targeting specific anatomical points called acupoints. These acupoints respond differently based on the pressure, temperature, or electrical stimulation applied during treatment. At SAGE Wellness Center, our acupuncturists use a variety of techniques to enhance treatment outcomes, including:
- Manual Massage
- Cupping Therapy
- Heat Therapy (Moxibustion)
- Chinese Herbal Remedies
Modern science also supports acupuncture, acknowledging its positive effects on the nervous system, immune system, digestive system, and cardiovascular system. Comprehensive acupuncture treatment can relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellness.
How Does Your Body React to Acupuncture Treatment?
At SAGE Wellness Center, we prioritize a personalized and thorough approach to treatment. Before starting acupuncture, our highly qualified practitioners:
- Conduct a Detailed Consultation: Review your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle.
- Perform Traditional Diagnostics: Examine your tongue, pulse, and other physical indicators of health.
- Customize Your Treatment Plan: Tailor the treatment based on your unique needs, weight, body shape, and overall health condition.
Once the assessment is complete, patients are comfortably positioned on a treatment table. Using precise techniques and sterilized needles, our practitioners insert the needles gently into designated acupoints. Each session typically lasts 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
How Many Treatment Sessions Are Needed?
The number of acupuncture sessions varies depending on the condition being treated:
- Acute Conditions: Often require fewer sessions, with some patients experiencing immediate relief.
- Chronic Conditions: May necessitate multiple visits over a few months for lasting results.
Our acupuncturists will assess your condition during the initial consultation and provide a recommended treatment schedule tailored to your health goals.
