Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the most often practiced component of traditional oriental medicine. It has been used about 3,500 years ago in some Asian countries, and only in the last four decades has it become popular in the West.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin disposal needles through the patient’s skin at specific points on the body – acupuncture is the safe, effective and drug-free therapies that can help the healing process of a wide variety of common ailments and problems when performed by a well-trained acupuncturist.

The acupuncture is based on the concept that living beings have a vital energy, called “qi” that circulates through 14 invisible energy lines known as meridians on the body. Each meridian is associated with a different organ system. Along the pathway of each meridian lies numerous energetic acupoints, each acupoint has a unique energetic function, and it is believed that by stimulating these acupoints can help healing many health disorders, restoring the homeostasis of a living body, and preventing the disorders of body and mind.

Acupressure

Acupressure is alternative method similar in principle to acupuncture. In treatment the precise physical pressure is applied to the same specific points as in acupuncture by using either fingers and/or the special tools to activate “Qi” along the meridians in order to promote, heal and bring back the proper function of body.

This method is very suitable for the children and to the person who does not like needles.

Electroacupuncture

With the various applications of modern technology, electro acupuncture was developed in around 1958. Electro acupuncture is quite similar to traditional acupuncture in that the same points are stimulated during treatment. As with traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted on specific points along the body. The needles are then attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses using small clips. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the condition being treated. Electro acupuncture uses two needles at time so that the impulses can pass from one needle to the other. Several pairs of needles can be stimulated simultaneously, usually for no more than 30 minutes at a time
