Traditional Acupuncture

If you search for acupuncture Chatswood, you can learn that traditional acupuncture is based on ancient Chinese theories of the flow of Qi (energy), also referred to as Chi and Xue (blood) through distinct pathways or meridians which are energy channels of the body.

Acupuncture is a therapy in which fine needles are inserted into specific points (acupoints) on the body along the meridians, stimulating and enhancing the free flow of Qi, therefore regulating the harmonious energetic balance of the body. This consequently relieves pain and restores health.

The location of the points selected, the nature of the problem, the patient’s size and age, and the acupuncturist’s style are all factors that will determine how deep the needles actually go. With acupuncture treatment, the patient will feel some cramping, heaviness, distention, tingling, or electric sensation either around the needle or travelling along the energy pathway. The pain level, however, is considered mild. The number and length of treatments required for healing varies depending on many factors such as type, severity, duration of condition and nature of the complaint. In general, however, a patient should notice changes to their condition during treatment for chronic conditions, and much more for acute conditions.
