Most acupuncturists in Las Vegas have gone a long way in helping people treat different neurological, respiratory, musculoskeletal, gynecological and emotional issues.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine work in an entirely different way from pharmaceutical treatment.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting needles into specific points on the body. These points are located at particular sites along energetic pathways called meridians, which traverse the entire length of the body.
The Chinese concept of “qi’ energy in reference to health is that as long as free flow of “qi” is maintained in the circuits of the body, a person remains healthy.
However, once there is a blockage of energy in one or more of the pathways, the system is disrupted and illness occurs.
Acupuncture works by regulating qi flow and restoring the energetic circuitry system of the body.
The meridians in the body are associated with either yin or yang, and sometimes bear the names of the five element organs they are associated with.
For instance, there is a liver meridian, a kidney meridian, and a spleen meridian, which are all yin meridians.
Because the twelve primary meridians relate to the five element organs, they also are associated with the emotions, mental aspects, and all other aspect of the particular element they belong to.
The meridian system also relates to the Bagua and the way energy changes and moves through the Bagua system.
For example, the Bagua teaches us those opposites balance each other, so to treat pain in the right knee, we might decide to put needles in associated points in the left elbow.
Acupuncture is a very practical method of adjusting the energetic circuitry in the body.
By inserting metallic energetic conductors (needles) we stimulate nerve and inflammation response to move and balance bioenergy.
Skilled acupuncture practitioners utilize yin and yang theory, five element theory, and Bagua methods to bring balance to the whole of the energetic system.
More and more hospitals and Western medical doctors are embracing acupuncture as a valuable method for healing.
Many people, however, are still not aware of the various applications of acupuncture for the treatment and prevention of a multitude of health conditions.
How does Acupuncture Work?
Everything is made of energy. The ancient Chinese called this energy “qi’. Qi travels through the body along pathways called meridians.
As long as free flow of “qi” is maintained in the circuits of the body, a person remains healthy. However, once there is a blockage of energy in one or more of the pathways, the system is disrupted and illness occurs.
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting needles into specific points along the meridian pathways. Acupuncture works by regulating qi flow and restoring the energetic circuitry system of the body.
In essence, acupuncture assists the body in its own process of self-healing.
Acupuncture is relatively painless. Treatment with acupuncture is well known for its effectiveness in treating chronic pain.
Many people are unaware, however, of the many applications of acupuncture.
