What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and balance the body’s energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). This ancient technique has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health issues. At The Joint Physiotherapy, our skilled practitioners use evidence-based acupuncture methods to help you achieve optimal health.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points or acupoints, to promote the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s an overview of how acupuncture benefits your health:

Stimulation of Acupoints

Thin needles are inserted into selected acupoints to stimulate nerve endings and trigger the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters.

Improved Blood Circulation

Acupuncture enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products.

Pain Relief

The release of natural pain-relieving chemicals helps to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

Balance of Energy Flow

Acupuncture restores the balance of Qi, harmonizing the body’s energy flow and promoting overall well-being.
