Western Medical Acupuncture

Learn about the benefits of western acupuncture and how it supports chiropractic care in delivering lasting relief from ongoing pain and discomfort.

How it Works

Western medical acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into various areas of the body. It’s a therapeutic treatment that works by stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles, resulting in the release of pain-relieving substances like endorphins. The practice is carried out using current knowledge of physiology, pathology, and the principles of evidence-based medicine.

Medical Acupuncture Benefits

Medical acupuncture is greatly useful for combating both chronic and acute pain, such as in the back and joints. The practice is also used to reduce stress and anxiety by regulating the nervous system and promoting relaxation. This in turn makes the treatment particularly useful for improving the quality and duration of sleep. Furthermore, it can be used to complement other forms of treatments to enhance their effectiveness.

Medical Acupuncture & Chiropractic

Chiropractic and western acupuncture treatments can be a powerful combination in the fight against ongoing discomfort. A chiropractor will first perform an examination to determine the root cause of the issue and devise a targeted treatment plan consisting of acute manipulations and adjustments. Acupuncture can then be introduced as a supplementary procedure to complement the pain-relieving properties of chiropractic care.

FAQs

Western medical acupuncture, also known as myofascial dry needling, involves the insertion of fine needles into parts of the body to stimulate the nervous system, promote healing, and alleviate pain. As the name suggests, the practice is grounded in evidence-based medicine and current understandings of physiology, anatomy, and neurology.

One of the main benefits of western acupuncture is that it can enhance the wellbeing of individuals from all walks of life, from professional athletes and people with high-stress jobs, to the elderly and chronic pain sufferers. The treatment is administered according to an evidence-led diagnosis of your unique ailments to provide lasting relief.

While western medical acupuncture is based on science, the traditional form is based around the concept of energy flow (or Qi). Practitioners of Chinese acupuncture believe that this life force flows through the body in channels known as meridians. Should this flow be impeded in some way, this is said to cause illness, so acupuncture is used to restore it.

In the hands of a seasoned practitioner, western acupuncture is an extremely safe and effective treatment for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The practice is performed using very thin needles that are designed not to cause any pain while being administered.
