What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a holistic treatment that originated in China and has been shown to relieve pain. When acupuncture needles are inserted into specific locations on the skin, it initiates the body's natural healing process. The belief behind acupuncture treatment originated from an old East Asian belief that to stop pain, the flow of "qi" (body energy) must be diverted and restored. This diversion of energy restores the balance of Yin and Yang, much like the Western concept of homeostasis.

Chiropractors sometimes practice acupuncture treatment because it is a natural approach. Acupuncture works with the body's structure in the same way as chiropractic practices. A neurological analysis of acupuncture has shown that it stimulates nerves and tissues, redirects the "qi," and regulates parts of the brain. The result of that interaction prompts the body to release its pain relief chemicals, like endorphins.

How Acupuncture Works

In addition to pain relief, acupuncture releases additional body chemicals that evoke relaxation and well-being. Acupuncture is effective for pain in any part of the body and has also been successful in reducing inflammation. It has been used to reduce digestive disorders like acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome.

A visit to a chiropractor begins with a thorough physical exam and a complete medical history. The exam is necessary to determine the correct location of acupuncture points for the procedure. Acupuncturists may also use methods like acupressure (pressing on acupoints with the hands) or cupping (special cups pressed onto the skin) to facilitate healing.
