How Does Acupuncture Work?
Natures Way Of Healing
The simple answer is, on many levels. We know that the same effects can also be seen when acupuncture is used on animals and it is widely felt that in terms of efficacy we have only just begun to scratch the surface. Acupuncture may well be rooted in history but it has a cutting edge future as its possibilities are increasingly understood. It is is currently being brought 'onstream,' by the NHS and ultimately, I believe it will be subject to the same regulation as other medical disciplines.
It is known that acupuncture releases the body's own endorphins. These are the pain killing and the 'feel-good' chemicals. It is also known that acupuncture improves immune response via proliferation of white blood cells. In regard to pain, it is theorised that acupuncture may act as a 'closed gate' in regard to the transmission of pain messages from the brain. For pain relief, acupuncture would appear to act on two levels, locally and centrally. Currently acupuncture is being used on battle grounds for acute pain and for shock, giving rise to a new modality termed 'battle ground' acupuncture. This is mainly auricular but also has its uses within the clinic.
Can Acupuncture Help You?
Acupuncture can help a wide range of complaints, so much so that it is increasingly becoming mainstream within Western Medicine. Acupuncture is effective for muscular skeletal problems, anxiety related disorders and more as it promotes the bodies own self-healing mechanisms.
Acupuncture is capable of directing energy to where it is needed. At a more prosaic level, blood tests show that acupuncture instigates the release of white blood cell and endorphins. And it is also believed that acupuncture acts as a 'gate,' to close off pain signals. Indeed, acupuncture within the NHS is now widely used by doctors and physiotherapists, albeit in the more limited 'Western' manner. In fact acupuncture is capable of helping many problems, as endorsed by The World Health Organisation. The organisational body NICE, also recommends that acupuncture is offered as an alternative form of back pain relief.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Acupuncture is known to be one of the safest treatment modalities known to mankind. There is a small chance of minor bruising, however this very quickly disappears.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Certain acute problems may only require one or two treatments, such as acute sciatica. Others, such as insomnia or skin problems may require a longer course of treatment. However, one course of treatment is generally sufficient. Thereafter, an individual may be treated monthly, or fortnightly as required. Because there are cost implications, particularly where chronic pain is concerned, each full treatment course also includes 2 complimentary treatments. click here to see 'Booking.'

How Does Acupuncture Feel?
How Does Acupuncture Feel?
Believe it or not acupuncture actually feels highly pleasant. This is because acupuncture releases the bodies own 'feel good' endorphins, which is why acupuncture is used for battle-ground shock, insomnia, pain, anxiety etc. There is an initial sensation where the extremely fine needle penetrates the skin. Afterwards, other than the qi sensation (a temporary mild ache or tingling) there is a feeling of deep relaxation. People have been known to fall asleep!
