FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and promote balance in the body’s energy flow. It’s commonly used to treat pain, relieve chronic conditions, and promote overall wellness. The practice is based on the concept of Qi (chi), which is understood as the body’s vital energy circulating through pathways called meridians. Acupuncture is widely recognized for its benefits in pain management and is used in various therapeutic and preventive health care settings.
Acupuncture typically causes little or no pain. Most people experience a slight prick as needles are inserted. After the needles are in place, some may feel a dull ache or a tingling sensation at the needle sites, which is normal and indicates the treatment is activating the intended points. The overall experience is usually considered relaxing, and many patients find acupuncture to be beneficial and with long lasting benefits.
Auricular acupuncture focuses on stimulating specific points on the ear, which is believed to be a microsystem reflecting the entire body. This technique is used for a variety of reasons: it’s particularly effective for treating pain and addiction, managing stress and anxiety, and promoting overall wellness. Its accessibility (since only the ear is involved) and the ease with which it can be administered make it a popular choice for quick and targeted treatments in various therapeutic settings, including detox clinics and stress relief programs.
Tuina (or “Tui Na”) is a form of traditional Chinese therapeutic massage that dates back over 2,000 years. It uses various hand techniques and manipulation, including brushing, kneading, rolling, pressing, and rubbing the areas between each of the joints (known as the eight gates) to attempt to open the body’s defensive (wei) chi and get the energy moving in both the meridians and the muscles. The technique is used to enhance blood circulation, reduce muscle pain, and improve the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body. Tuina is commonly used for both chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions, as well as for a range of non-musculoskeletal conditions. It is considered a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, similar to acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Cupping is a traditional therapy used in various cultures, prominently within Chinese medicine, where cups are placed on the skin to create suction. The suction is believed to increase blood flow to the area, promoting healing and relieving muscle tension and pain. It can also be used to improve respiratory conditions and stimulate the flow of “Qi” (vital energy) through the body’s meridians. Cupping may leave temporarily, round, bruise-like marks on the skin. The method is generally considered safe and is valued for its ability to reduce pain and enhance relaxation.
Yes, it’s possible to combine acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, tuina, and cupping in the same treatment session, depending on your specific health needs and goals. However, the decision to use multiple modalities, as well as the extent and sequence of each, should be made by a qualified practitioner. This professional will assess your individual condition and determine the most effective combination and sequence of treatments to address your concerns. The practitioner’s expertise ensures that the treatments complement each other and maximize the therapeutic benefits while minimizing any potential discomfort or side effects.
