06.01.2022 About Acupuncture (article from the Victoria government website) Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine and consists of inserting fine needles into specific points on the skin. Performed by a skilled practitioner, acupuncture can be a safe and effective treatment for a range of disorders.... The treatment can be effective even if you dont believe in the underlying philosophy. Acupuncture has been part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. It involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the skin or applying various other techniques to the acupuncture points to restore balance and encourage the body to heal itself. Evidence of effectiveness of acupuncture Scientific trials around the world have found that when acupuncture is performed by a skilled practitioner, it is a safe and useful treatment for many different disorders. The British National Health Service carried out a systematic review of the evidence for the use of acupuncture to treat or manage a range of disorders. They found that there was evidence that acupuncture is effective to treat dental pain, jaw pain and to control nausea after operations and chemotherapy treatment. For many conditions where acupuncture can be used, the evidence has not been systematically reviewed, or the current scientific evidence to prove that it is effective is not yet established. Clinical guidelines published in many different countries have found that acupuncture is moderately helpful in a wide range of conditions, particularly those which involve pain. How acupuncture is performed Pre-sterilised disposable needles should be used. Depending on the location of the treatment, you will either sit or lie down. Properly done, acupuncture is painless because the needles are very fine (around 0.2 mm wide). When the needles are inserted, you may feel mild tingling around the site, warmth or heaviness, or even nothing at all. An acupuncturist may use other techniques including: cupping suction designed to bring blood to the acupuncture point Chinese herbs either mixed by the acupuncturist or in pre-prepared tablet or granulated form laser used instead of the needles to activate acupuncture points TCM remedial massage techniques applied to specific acupuncture points or meridians moxibustion burning herbs held over or applied to acupuncture points. After a session of acupuncture, you will normally feel relaxed and refreshed, but specific responses depend on each person. For instance, some people feel energised, while others feel sleepy. Occasionally, the symptoms get a little worse before they improve. The number of treatments you need depends on your condition. In most cases, people experience a reduction in symptoms within a few sessions. The idea of acupuncture is to restore the natural balance of energy inside your body. Once the balance is restored, the body can take care of itself and no further treatments are necessary.
