What is acupuncture and Oriental Medicine?
Acupuncture is one part of a variety of treatment modalities that encompass Oriental Medicine or Traditional Chinese Medicine. This system of medicine evaluates the entire person to include one's experiences in life, which can profoundly effect the body; thus creating a holistic medicine that gets to the root of the problem, and is not focused merely on symptom management.
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine, sterile, single- use needles into specific locations throughout the body, called acupoints or neuro-vascular nodes. These nodes are found along muscle, nerve, vascular and lymph pathways throughout the entire body. Stimulating these points with needles, microcurrent, massage, cold laser or LED light, triggers the body's organs to balance its stress responses, inflammatory responses, hormonal imbalances Once this is done, oxygen and blood can circulate throughout the body, providing adequate nourishment to cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles. This can eliminate pain, restore homeostasis allowing the body to heal itself—ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being. Homeostasis is a common medical term defined as the tendency of the body to achieve physiological balance or equilibrium.
In summary, acupuncture and Oriental Medicine support immunity, physical and emotional health, and improves overall body function and well-being. There is a vast list of ailments that acupuncture is known to be effective at treating. The World Health Organization has compiled a list of these conditions and are listed on the accompanying page. Additionally, the preponderance of scientific literature on the subject demonstrates that it is a safe, effective, drug free way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.
