Benefits Of Acupuncture Staten Island: A New Treatment Option for Pain

Overview

Acupuncture is a method whereby inserting needles into specific points on your system will reduce pain. And increase your body's own capacity to heal itself. 

Much like many of the other alternative medications, acupuncture hasn't been easily accepted in Western civilization. It's only begun to become more recognizable in the previous 3 years. 

Acupuncture originated in China millennia ago. Acupuncture, similar to many other Chinese medications, is based on your principles of Traditional Chinese Medicines. TCM treats the entire body as a whole composed of many system functions. The organs are divided into two systems called the yin, strong organs, and the yang, hollow organs.

Why it's done

The balance between both of these systems is easily disturbed and may become blocked or stagnant causing disease. Qi, that is known as the body's vital power and flow of blood throughout the body systems called meridians. Acupuncture points are put along the meridians of the entire body so when qi or blood goes dormant acupuncture needling can discharge the stagnation and restore your system to balance. Acupuncture is about extending or returning your body's balance of qi. Therefore if there are indications of imbalance such as pain, aches, sickness, or injury, acupuncture is your prescribed treatment. 

Acupuncture treats a wide selection of ailments like 

  • Migraines, 
  • Low back pain
  • Whiplash 
  • Cold, flu
  • Premenstrual syndrome
  • Tendonitis
  • Arthritis
Traditional acupuncture uses four methods of diagnosis, examination, auscultation, and olfaction, inquiring, and palpation. 



Inspection examines the face and tongue. New U Physical Therapy believes that the tongue retains valuable tips for the imbalance through the body. The shape, size, tension, color, and coating of the tongue all correspond to specific imbalances. Auscultation and olfaction refer to listening and smelling the entire body sounds and odors. Inquiring requires the acupuncture to ask seven questions of the person's symptomatology. They include chills and fever, perspiration, appetite, thirst and taste, defecation and urination, pain, sleep, and menses, and leucorrhea. Finally, palpation pertains to the exam of the entire body for tenderness and of the pulse pressure on the radial pulses. 

What You Can Expect

Once acupuncture has been recommended, the acupuncture will determine which pressure points will be needled. The needles utilized by modern acupuncturists are disposable stainless steel usually with plastic or wound wire covering your upper 3rd of the needle. This gives the acupuncture something to cling to when inserting the needle. The needles are inserted in your tender points where qi or blood is thought to be blocked in a depth of about 3-5mm. Patients who've experienced acupuncture describe a sense of a twinge or pressure when the needle is inserted. Along with sensitivity in the area of the entire body where the needle has been inserted and immediate relief of the pain they were feeling.
