What is Acupuncture? How Does it Work?

The traditional Chinese explanation of acupuncture treatment is based on an ancient philosophy that describes the universe and the body as two opposing forces called yin and yang. When these forces are balanced, the body is healthy and functions normally. Energy, commonly referred to as Qi flows through specific pathways throughout the body and on the surface of the skin called meridians, which work to irrigate and nourish tissues. The consistent flow of energy keeps yin and yang forces balanced. However, if there are obstructions or imbalances in these meridians, pain and other health-related issues can arise. The meridians can be influenced by inserting acupuncture needles on a combination of the 350 acupuncture points to unblock the obstructions and reestablish the regular flow of energy.

Acupuncture treatments carried out in hospitals and other health care facilities today focus on different principles than those established in the past. Today, health practitioners strategically placing acupuncture needles on designated points to stimulate the nervous system and release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either change the experience of pain or trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones to influence the body’s regulating system. Modern medical research has demonstrated acupuncture’s positive effects on the nervous system, endocrine and immune systems, cardiovascular system, and digestive system. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, as well as promoting physical and emotional well-being. Therefore, our acupuncture treatments in Toronto encourage the body’s internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, energy production activities, resolve pain and improve the circulation of energy through the meridians.

What You Can Expect From Our Acupuncture Treatment in Toronto at Focus Physiotherapy?

Before treatment begins, your acupuncturist will ask about your health history to determine if acupuncture treatment is right for you. If your practitioner believes acupuncture will help you find relief, they will conduct a thorough examination. Your examination may include examining your tongue’s shape, colour and coating, and ask about your symptoms, behaviours, habits and lifestyle to formulate a proper treatment plan to address your particular condition. While acupuncture points are situated in all areas of the body, sometimes the appropriate points are far removed from the area of your pain.

Needle Insertion

To begin, you will lay comfortably on a treatment table to allow for careful insertion of acupuncture needles at various depths and strategic points on your body. The needles are very thin, allowing for easy insertions with little discomfort. However, you may feel a mild aching sensation when a needle reaches the correct depth. 

Needle Manipulation

Your practitioner may gently move or twirl the needles, apply heat or mild electrical pulses to the needles after placement.

Needle Removal

In most cases, the needles remain in place for 10 to 20 minutes while you sit still and relax. There is usually no discomfort when your practitioner removes the needles. 

After the Procedure
Some people feel relaxed, and others feel energized after an acupuncture treatment. But not everyone responds to acupuncture the same way.

How Many Acupuncture Treatments Will I Need?

The frequency and number of acupuncture treatments differ from person to person. However, longer treatment periods may be required for complex, or long-standing chronic medical conditions. Your acupuncturist will discuss your treatment duration and your personalized plan at your first visit.
