Acupuncture Farington

Acupuncture is frequently used to treat anxiety, sleeping problems, back pain, arthritis, dental pain and migraine headaches and can be practiced on patients of all ages, even babies. Whilst acupuncture and other "alternative treatments" are by and large unregulated at this time, it would be sensible to be sure that you get a therapist in Farington who is certified and is a signed up member of the BAcC (British Acupuncture Council).

About Acupuncture: The procedure whereby fine needles are placed in the patient's skin to obtain restorative effects is known as acupuncture, and is an old Chinese medical treatment which has been practiced for hundreds of years. A certified and trained acupuncturist can help soothe conditions linked to lower back pain, migraine headaches and osteoarthritis to mention only a few of the most typical conditions. Together with things like cupping therapy, dietary therapy, gua sha, herbal medicine, massage (tui na), bonesetter (die-da) and exercise (qigong), acupuncture is practiced all over the world and is an alternative therapy and pseudoscience which forms a key part of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Employed as a way of opening your energy channels to free the flow of life force, or Qi, acupuncture has been practiced for over three thousand years. Encouraging the release of endorphins to alleviate pain and irritation throughout the entire body, modern medical acupuncture treatment is based around the stimulation of nerve endings immediately below the surface of the skin. If you've got any doubts concerning the effectiveness of what was at one time viewed as a "quack" therapy, you can rest assured that the beneficial claims of acupuncture treatments have been extensively explored and recognized for a variety of medical conditions, and reports have been published containing the evidence found. If you are affected by one of the stress related disorders such as anxiety, panic attacks and depression, you may find that acupuncture therapies can help you to overcome them.

The majority of competent acupuncturists in Farington will request that you attend a preliminary consultation, which should take place prior to your initial session of treatment. You'll be asked a number of basic questions about your lifestyle. The purpose of this preliminary consultation is so that the acupuncturist can get to grips with you and your problems, and work out a plan of treatment that'll be best for your specific needs. The proposed treatment procedures can sometimes be quite different even for patients suffering from similar symptoms. Therefore perhaps you may know somebody else in Farington with quite similar issues to you who've undergone some other kind of acupuncture treatment.

During treatment, slender needles are placed in the body's meridian lines which correspond to your symptoms. Such areas will normally not directly be associated with the problem area within the body, or at least not in a layman's eyes. To illustrate this more clearly, an acupuncturist will perhaps stick needles into the meridian point on the patient's hand so as to heal a migraine or a lumbar pain. It's a wise idea to wear loose clothes when heading off for an acupuncture session because a lot of the most commonly used meridian points are in the legs and lower limbs and easy access to these parts is required by your therapist.

The experience of an acupuncture session can quite often leave you feeling weary and groggy. It is recommended that you don't drive a car immediately after acupuncture treatment. This allows your body to come round in a natural way, allowing it to rest for a little while. These feelings of drowsiness could possibly last for an hour or two, therefore you should factor this into any work plans that you have.

Cupping Therapy Farington

Cupping therapy is a technique that uses heated cups to create local suction on the skin. It has its origins in Asia, but is also practiced in Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The practice has long been described as quackery and pseudoscience despite its widespread use. But what does it do exactly?

The most common part of the body to receive cupping treatment is the back, but it can also be performed on the abdomen, buttocks and legs. People can even get cupping done on their faces, although this is quite rare. Some patients may experience some bruising at the cupping site. However, this will fade away within a few days. One of the most common cupping technique involves placing heated, flexible silicone cups on the affected area. This will cause soft tissue in the area to rise, developing a red or pink colour. The therapist will then move the cups up and down the skin, increasing and decreasing pressure as the therapy proceeds. The cups are usually left on for 2-10 minutes before being removed.

Cupping therapy is a form of alternative medicine that is commonly used for treating muscle pain. However, it can also be beneficial for anyone experiencing muscle tension. Using glass, plastic or bamboo cups, a cupping practitioner will place one or more of these cups onto your skin. This creates a vacuum effect that is said to increase blood circulation and reduce muscle tension..

Acupuncture Meridians and Acupuncture Points

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) lists over four hundred acupuncture points in the body of a human and pretty much all of those points are situated on one or other of the meridians or pathways that carry the life energy (chi) and greatly influence health and wellness. The primary meridians that are used in acupuncture therapies - the large intestine, the bladder, the kidney, the stomach, the gallbladder, the small intestine, the liver, the pericardium, the heart, the triple energizer, the lung, the spleen - number 12 in total, are all connected with the body's internal organs. The other eight which are classified as "extraordinary" meridians don't have any direct connections with the organs but purely share points with the major meridians. Each of these points are designated by the meridian (pathway) upon which they're located and their numbers tie in with the point sequence upon that specific channel. There are some weird names which are associated with these acupuncture points and the following eleven - Channel Gutter, Supreme Abyss, Clasping the White, Palace of Heaven, Cubit Marsh, Maximum Opening, Broken Sequence, Cloud Gate, Lesser Shang, Fish Border, Middle Palace - are those for the lungs, that are numbered LU-1 - LU-12.
