Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine-based. The theory of acupuncture centers on the concept of life- energy “Qi” which is said to flow through the body’s energy pathways, known as meridians. Meridians match certain organs or groups of organs. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that disease is caused by an imbalance of this energy’s flow through the meridians. Our acupuncturist can help you regain the balance of energy through the needling of various acupuncture points along meridians. Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, release chemicals into muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.

If you look at acupuncture from the Medical perspective it can be explained in a different way. In the treatment of pain and tension it is used to change the speed and conduction of information through the nerves. The stimulating of fast conducting nerve fibers of the skin sends messages to the brain, and these signals block the pain perception in other parts of the body. Thereby painful tension will be released. Also endorphins will be released in the body by the stimulation of acupuncture needles. This messenger substance, in its chemical composition is similar to morphine like pain reliever. Trials shows, that also the body’s defense's are increased by a rise of immune cells in the blood.
Human anatomy also describes the relationship between spinal nerves and segments of the skin, muscular system, bones and internal organs. This correlation between spinal nerves and the periphery of the body explain how this treatment takes effect as well.
The acupuncture points are located close to nerve and vascular bundles. When you insert a needle you sets off a healing response in the body. This process can be used to heal various parts of the body in an indirect fashion. For example, inserting a needle into a client’s hand may trigger a healing process in a variety of body systems from internal organs to muscular systems, bones and skin.

The main idea of acupuncture is that vital energy called Qi (pronounced ‘chee’) flows through the body along pathways called meridians. Pain results when the flow of Qi becomes blocked. Acupuncture helps the Qi flow more easily.
Western research shows that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system to release natural substances (like endorphins) that reduce pain and may help change how the brain perceives the pain.
