How Acupuncture Works?

The practice comes from traditional Chinese medicine. Scientific studies have confirmed its effectiveness for some conditions. Acupuncturists who follow more traditional/ancient Chinese principles focus exclusively on directing the flow of qi (pronounced “chee”), or energy, through the body. Other practitioners apply Western medicine, using the needles to stimulate the body’s systems. Many acupuncturists use a combination of both approaches.

It’s critical to drink enough water after your acupuncture session and to rest from physically demanding activities for the remainder of the day. Moreover, you might want to stay away from big meals, alcohol, caffeine, and other stimulants.

At the spot where the needle was inserted, some people may feel a dull discomfort or tingling feeling, but this is typically not severe. Be sure to tell your acupuncturist if you feel any pain throughout your treatment so they can reposition the needles as necessary.
