What Is Acupucnture?

Acupuncture is a wonderful practice from Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been cherished for thousands of years! By gently inserting very fine needles into specific points on the body, it helps stimulate healing and brings balance to our energy. Not only does this method address a variety of health concerns, but it also plays a key role in keeping us feeling our best and preventing issues down the line. As time has gone on, more and more people, including those in modern scientific communities, have embraced acupuncture for its effectiveness in tackling everything from chronic pain to digestive troubles and much more. Its lasting legacy showcases its importance in promoting holistic health and well-being!

How Acupuncture Works

The Science Behind Acupuncture

Paul Blacker acupucnture how it works

Acupuncture is a centuries-old practice that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by targeting specific points along energy pathways known as meridians. By inserting fine needles at these acupuncture points, practitioners can help improve circulation and balance the flow of Qi, or vital life force energy, throughout the body.

The insertion of the needles triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. Endorphins work to block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing effective relief for a variety of conditions. Additionally, acupuncture has been shown to improve blood flow, and reduce inflamation, which can further aid the body’s natural healing abilities.

What to Expect During a Session

During your initial consultation, we’ll take some time to chat about your health concerns and goals. This helps us craft a personalised treatment plan just for you! I’ll gently place sterile, single-use disposable needles at specific points on your body, and then you can kick back and relax for about 20-30 minutes while the treatment takes effect. After our session, I’ll share some post-treatment care tips and recommendations for any follow-up visits.
