What is acupuncture and does it works?

Acupuncture is a technique dedicated to providing patient relief for a wide variety of medical conditions. It focuses on acupuncture points, which are specific body locations used to produce health improvements.

A Western approach understands acupuncture points as locations to restore functioning in muscles, connective tissue, and nerves. In some cases, with the idea that it boosts the natural pain relief system of the body.

Traditional Chinese medicine sees acupuncture as a way of balancing the flow of energy in the body.

How to prepare for an acupuncture therapy session

There is no need for special preparation in acupuncture therapy sessions.

What to expect during acupuncture therapy

According to the body area of the application, you may be sitting or laying down with that area uncovered.

Each professional that performs acupuncture therapy has a unique approach. At Flores Medical Center, doctors will:

  • Ask you before the session about your current condition and your desired results.
  • Examine your body, locating hurting areas and other details that would influence the treatment and the best approach to it.
  • Insert and remove thin needles through your skin, looking to stimulate specific points in your body.

Between consultation, examination, and treatment, sessions usually last from 30 to 60 minutes, but it may be longer.

Sessions will vary according to the patient's health and the number of conditions to treat.

What will you feel during acupuncture therapy?

1
Since needles are thin, patients do not feel pain when they are inserted or discomfort in general.
2
Most of the time, treatments require 6 to 18 inserted needles.
3
Once an inserted needle finds the desired depth, you could sense a dull ache.
4
Inserted needles may be gently moved, twirled, heated, or receive mild electrical pulses after placement.
5
In most sessions, needles will remain inserted for 10 to 20 minutes while you relax.
6
In general, inserted needles won't produce discomfort when removed.

Results from acupuncture therapy sessions

1. Many patients may feel relaxed after sessions.

You just lay down and relax while receiving acupuncture therapy.

2. Some others feel energized after the acupuncture session.

Acupuncture sessions may be revitalizing according to traditional Chinese medicine.

3. However, a few patients don't respond to the treatment.

It is fine if your body doesn't react to acupuncture therapy. We are all different in many ways.
We will keep helping you with many other treatments.
In general, people find acupuncture helpful to control several painful conditions.

If you are having difficulties handling pain with more conventional methods, then you should try acupuncture at Flores Medical Center.
