What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that originated in China over 2,500 years ago. It involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system and promote natural healing. This time-honored technique has been widely recognized for its effectiveness in providing relief from various conditions and is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine.

What Should I Expect With Acupuncture Therapy?

Most acupuncture sessions last around an hour to two hours. Everyone responds differently to treatment, however, at your initial consultation, your physiotherapist will be able to do a conclusive assessment of your condition. He or she will then create a treatment plan for you, which will be tailored to your individual needs. 

Typically, fine needles are inserted through the skin and left in position briefly, sometimes with manual or electrical stimulation. The number of needles varies but may be only two or three. It’s important to remember that everyone’s pain condition is different, and so their acupuncture treatment will be as well. 

The response rate to acupuncture treatment is high, especially for patients with pain of musculoskeletal origin or headaches. The complication and side effect rate is extremely low. It’s certainly worth giving our team a call today to discuss your options, and see acupuncture is the right choice for you.

Physiotherapists who incorporate acupuncture in their practice must complete postgraduate clinical education through institutions recognized by their regulatory body. Rest assured that you will be in great hands at Lake Country Physiotherapy.

Acupuncture is an effective method for alleviating chronic pain and other symptoms that results from muscle tension, but it is not something that can be practiced at home or without a registered and experienced acupuncturist.
