Acupuncture promotes the balance and flow of Qi energy, which is considered fundamental to health in Traditional Chinese Medicine. When the body is in good health, Qi (pronounced Chee) flows easily along the meridians, forming a conceptual network of routes throughout the body. When the equilibrium or flow of Qi is disrupted or hindered, the body may become unhealthy or prone to illness. Acupuncture addresses both the symptoms and the underlying reasons for a patient’s ailment.
Acupuncture is a centuries-old, risk-free, and successful alternative to traditional medicine. Placing needles into certain anatomical areas promotes natural healing by increasing the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving neurohormones (acupuncture points).
Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing.
Traditionally, acupuncture has been associated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, some modern physiotherapists have integrated acupuncture into their practice as a complementary or adjunct therapy to conventional physiotherapy treatments. Physiotherapists who use acupuncture have undergone specific training and certification in acupuncture techniques, ensuring they have the necessary skills and knowledge to administer the treatment safely and effectively.
