What Is Acupuncture ?
Acupuncture, an ancient form of medicine that originated in China several thousand years ago. Recent research on the effects of the placement of needles supports the idea that it is works primarily via the release of certain chemical in the central nervous system. Studies have recently shown evidence for acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis.
Will Acupuncture hurt ?
The needles are extremely fine so there is very little discomfort when the needles are inserted. Unlike syringes, the needles used contain no chemicals or substances. The process stimulates your body’s own natural pain relieving systems.
What To Expect
Acupuncture does not feel the same as having an injection as the needles are much thinner (the width of a human hair). You may feel a temporary, sharp pricking sensation when the needles are inserted.
Needles can be used within your Physiotherapy session if deemed appropriate and treatment times can vary but will generally be around 10 – 20 minutes long.
There will be a consultation where your medical history and other factors will be discussed. This is to ensure that that there are no contraindications to acupuncture for yourself or, in certain situations, acupuncture may be used with cation.
You will be positioned comfortably for the points that will be used and your therapist will explain what to expect.
Everyone responds differently to acupuncture and some points may feel stronger than others. You may feel a temporary sharp pricking sensation.
