A Different Therapy Might Help
Acupuncture is a therapy that is performed by placing fine needles in your skin at certain key points. The ancient Chinese medical theory behind this is that blockages in the qi (or life force) will be dispelled and the body will be able to heal itself. The therapy, especially the Japanese style acupuncture, is performed in a number of ways including but not limited to:
Somatic Nervous System Therapy
This therapy is based on the theory that the body is made up of energy pathways that are affected by stress and other external factors. By placing fine acupuncture needles at certain points on the body, the therapist is able to help the body’s nervous system to more efficiently deal with stress and any other issues it may be having.
Vascular Therapy
This therapy is based on the theory that blockages in the veins will cause pain and various illnesses. By placing fine acupuncture needles in certain points on the body, the therapist is able to help the body’s own healing process and remove this blockage.
Respiratory Therapy
This therapy is based on the theory that blocked airways and lungs will cause a variety of illnesses. By placing fine acupuncture needles in certain points on the body, the therapist is able to help the body’s own healing process.
Pain Therapy
By placing a fine acupuncture needle in a certain point on the body, the therapist is able to help relieve pain temporarily. This is a very important part of any therapy as acupuncture is, by its nature, not a curative therapy.
