The Soothing Power of Acupuncture

Acupuncture corrects flow imbalances in visible areas near the skin. Today acupuncture is an effective, natural, and increasingly popular remedy used by people all over the world to correct the energy flow in the body.

The acupuncture needle is very fine so there is no discomfort when pricked, but a slight tingling sensation (known as a needle sensation) may occur. You can also surf the internet to learn about acupuncture & traditional Chinese medicine.

The needles are usually left for about twenty minutes or so; during this time there may be a feeling of heaviness in the limbs and a feeling of relaxation. The experience of many acupuncturists shows that of those treated for various acute pain conditions, about 70 percent receive rapid and significant pain relief.

If a bone is broken, the pain relief provided by acupuncture is less effective than when the injury is caused by tension or tearing of a muscle, tendon, or ligament. The main benefit of treating this acute acupuncture pain is that chronic pain can be avoided.

A sudden shoulder injury can cause pain and immobility for months, sometimes years. However, if acupuncture is used when pain occurs, chronic pain can be avoided. Many acupuncturists treat a variety of "mental disorders" and insomnia (sleep disorders) with acupuncture.
