What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese
tradition that has been around for over 3000 years. It was brought
to the U.S. in the early 1970’s.
The goal of
acuuncture is to promote the flow of Qi- “chi’ energy-
within the various
meridiansby inserting the
hair-thin acupuncture needles into certain points on the
body.
When Qi is blocked in the meridians or in the channels, various symptoms appear. The acupuncturist will look at all of the symptoms in order to diagnose the patient using Chinese medical terms. In some cases, the western diagnosis can be helpful, but Chinese medicine looks at the entire body as a whole and targets the root of the problem.
Aside from improving energy flow,
acupuncture also offers benefits in other aspects (i.e. spiritual,
physical and emotional). Acupuncture stimulates the release of
natural endorphins and neurotransmitters, which are hormones
responsible for a sense of well-being.
How long will a treatment take?
Initial visit:
Your initial visit includes a comprehensive review of your medical history, a medical intake, a careful explanation of the procedure, and an acupuncture treatment. The first treatment could last up to 90 minutes.
Return visit:
Return visits include an update on the progress, a reevaluation, a dietary recommendation, and an acupuncture treatment. A return visit could last up to 60 minutes.
Does Acupuncture hurt?
Zento Massotherapy is focused on
providing comfortable and effective acupuncture treatments.
Our aim is to make your acupuncture treatment as enjoyable as
possible, while still achieving optimum results. Many
patients report a small tingling or heavy sensation at the location
of the needle insertion. This is traditioonally viewed as the
activation of the acupuncture point, and it is the desired result
of needling in order to obtain an effective treatment. Overall, a
large majority of patients find acupuncture treatments to be quite
comfortable and very relaxing. You will be taken step-by-step
through the entire process. Please remember that we are here
to serve you and that you are ultimately the one in control.
If something is painful or makes you feel uneasy, please tell your
acupuncturist.
