So what exactly is medical acupuncture? Medical acupuncture is a method of traditional Chinese medicine that has been around for more than 1,000 years. And while medical acupuncture is generally accepted as mainstream medicine across Asia, much of the Western world still views this form of treatment as a type of alternative medicine. But while traditional scientists do not fully understand how or why acupuncture works, there are a number of studies that show acupuncture to have a variety of medical benefits, including everything from pain reduction to helping with nausea associated with chemotherapy. And it is because of this that acupuncture is continuing to grow in popularity across the United States and the world.

In Chinese medicine, health relates to the balance of a person’s life force, or chi. Illness is directly related to an imbalance in your life force. Your chi flows through pathways in your body and can be reached by acupuncture needles at over 350 points. Needles are inserted into certain points to correct any imbalances that you may have in your chi and, thus, can restore your body to a state of balance and health.

A typical acupuncture treatment is a series of treatments either once or twice per week, often adding up to a total of twelve treatment sessions. Each session usually last about thirty minutes and includes an exam, needles insertion (they are left in place for five to twenty minutes), and a discussion with the acupuncturist. And though some patients experience a short, sharp sensation with the needles are inserted, acupuncture is generally not painful.
