The Power of Acupuncture
Jeffery Mueller, M.D. • November 1, 2020
There are many who experience pain and suffering while relying on medications. Trying to treat insomnia or other ailments that are a burden to your lifestyle? Maybe a more holistic or eastern medical approach would better benefit you. Perhaps you were told about certain sessions of needles from someone who has undergone the experience. Acupuncture uses needlepoints to locate the root of the problem and treat it, instead of treating the symptoms that the initial problem created.
You may have seen depictions of acupuncture sessions through media and movies, where a character may be seen with hundreds of needles protruding from their bodies as they use slapstick comedy to take jabs at the situation. There is more to it than stabbing needles into your skin. It is an ancient Traditional Chinese practice that believe there are over 2,000 entry points for acupuncture that connects to our pathways.
Acupuncture concentrates on a system of pathways or meridians that continuously flow throughout our bodies. When our life force (also known as Qi- pronounced as chee) moves through these pathways, our bodies will perform a state of homeostasis. An equilibrium that creates a balanced and stable environment for overall health and well-being. When these become blocked, our bodies will start to tell us through pain and illness. Instead of getting rid of these blockages, many will only treat the symptoms that have been caused because of it. By applying acupuncture to these thousands of points, we can improve the Qi flow and improve our overall health.
A fear of needles could be keeping you from experiencing the freeing release that acupuncture gives you. By getting to the source of your problems, you could be living a pain free life without continuous pill popping.
