Acupuncture Fawley

Most often used for the relief of arthritis, migraine headaches, chronic pain, sleeping problems, postoperative pain and stress, acupuncture can be given to patients of any age, even very young children. While acupuncture as well as other "alternative treatments" are by and large unregulated at the moment, it would be wise to ensure that you use an acupuncturist in Fawley who is certified and is affiliated with the BAcC (British Acupuncture Council).

A Brief Guide to Acupuncture: Acupuncture is an old Chinese treatment whereby thin needles are placed in the client's skin for therapeutic reasons. With the proper training an acupuncturist will be able to get rid of health conditions which conventional medical treatments have failed to overcome, and is particularly beneficial with ailments like arthritis, migraine headaches, chronic pain, sleeping problems, postoperative pain and stress. A central element of traditional Chinese medicine along with treatments like dietary therapy, exercise (qigong), massage (tui na), cupping therapy, bonesetter (die-da), herbal medicine and gua sha, acupuncture is an alternative medicine and pseudoscience which is used all over the world.

Practiced for over 3,000 yrs, acupuncture was developed as a technique for opening the energy channels to free the flow of life force (Qi), to help with pain alleviation. Boosting the release of endorphins to numb pain around the entire body, modern medical acupuncture targets the stimulation of nerve endings located immediately under the skin layer. The benefits of acupuncture treatments have been tested and confirmed for a wide variety of medical illnesses. Acupuncture can also be employed as a type of relaxation technique for those tormented by stress and anxiety problems.

If you have not had acupuncture before there will be a consultation in advance of your first session, where you can discuss your symptoms with a consultant acupuncturist and asked a couple of typical questions about your personal lifestyle. The objective of this preliminary meeting is so the therapist can evaluate you and your ailment, and formulate a plan of treatment that will be perfect for your specific needs. At times it may even be the case that two people will receive two entirely different treatment solutions despite the fact that they have got virtually identical symptoms. Therefore you might have a friend in Fawley with the same complaints to you who've had an alternative type of acupuncture treatment.

The treatment involves positioning fine needles into the meridian lines of the body that correspond to your particular symptoms. These areas are often in locations that you wouldn't automatically connect with the problem at hand. To describe this more clearly, the therapist might place a needle into the meridian point on the sufferer's hand in order to soothe a migraine headache or a neck pain. A lot of the most commonly targeted treatment spots are located upon the lower limbs and legs, so it is recommended that you wear loose fitting clothing to permit accessibility to these places.

Immediately after treatment you are quite likely to feel fatigue and drowsiness. Driving a car right after treatment is therefore not really recommended. This allows your body to come round naturally and slowly, allowing it to rest for a short while. This feeling of lethargy can even continue for some time, and so you should factor this into your work plans.

Dry Needle Therapy Fawley

An alternative treatment that is routinely used by acupuncturists in Fawley, dry needling (or myofascial trigger point dry needling) has become a favourite kind of therapy. Regarded by many as the "Western Acupuncture", dry needling uses a procedure which is often termed IMS (intramuscular stimulation). Many in Fawley who practice dry needling however, would state that it is much more about having a comprehension of the musculoskeletal system and neuroanatomy. By locating trigger points, the practitioner will seek to ascertain parts of the body that are experiencing soft tissue damage, muscle pain and recurring spasms. The dry needling procedure is focused on problems with bodily imbalance, muscular damage and posture.

Acupuncture Meridians and Acupuncture Points

There are about four hundred acupuncture points within the human body, according to Chinese Medicine, the majority of which are situated on the meridians (pathways) that transport the body's chi or qi (life energy). The primary or main meridians that are used in acupuncture therapy - the gallbladder, the kidney, the small intestine, the large intestine, the liver, the bladder, the heart, the triple energizer, the spleen, the pericardium, the lung, the stomach - numbering twelve in total, are all relating to the body's internal organs. The other eight which are called the "extraordinary" meridians do not have any immediate connections with the organs but merely share points with the primary meridians. Each and every one of these points can be designated by the meridian where they are positioned and their identifying numbers match the point order upon that particular channel. These acupuncture points have been allocated some weird names and the following ones - Maximum Opening, Cloud Gate, Palace of Heaven, Supreme Abyss, Cubit Marsh, Broken Sequence, Fish Border, Channel Gutter, Clasping the White, Lesser Shang, Middle Palace - are the 11 that are associated with the lungs, and are numbered LU-1 to LU-12, though not in that order.

Does Acupuncture Work?

Sufferers who are looking at trying acupuncture therapy will obviously have some doubts and queries with regards to the treatment, and one of the most common of these questions is "Does acupuncture work?" It would be a brave man who would answer that with any confidence because it's a somewhat subjective question and will depend on who you're asking. Certain patients may state "acupuncture is remarkable and transformed my life", as it clearly had a positive effect on them, whilst other patients might say "acupuncture doesn't work" given that it failed to work for them. There's invariably serious doubts regarding the veracity and authenticity of any procedures, especially complementary and alternative therapies. So these disparities are not really surprising.
