Acupuncture Made Easy

 

Each Time we do a newsletter on Acupuncture many clients ask "is it easy to use?", The answer is YES with the modern forms of needleless electronic Acupuncture,now
With todays Electronic Acupuncter systems its very simple,and mostly very efective...

Long before HMO’s, family practice and medical malpractice insurance ever entered the stage, acupuncture was already an ancient art. It’s been around for millennia, but unlike passing medical “fads”, acupuncture is here to stay.
As a matter of fact, acupuncture – along with many other forms of alternative medicine – is back in full force. What was once a sacred study, centralized in Asian countries has now stormed across the entire planet, penetrating into even the most “traditional” Mid-Western communities.

Now Acupuncture is taught and practiced all over the world in many countries and each country uses their own individual style and technique. Germany has its own style and technique as does Japan, Korea, Australia, France, Russia and Italy. Besides these countries already mentioned, there are still many others that use their own acupuncture techniques. But it should be said that most of these different and varied styles of acupuncture were derived from the Traditional Chinese Medicine health care system and then modified to some degree.

Acupuncture as a sole treatment method became very popular, especially during the early 1970's when then President Nixon opened the doors to China. Many of his representatives were in awe when they toured different Chinese hospitals and observed first hand the wondrous results of acupuncture and oriental medicine techniques. By the middle and late 1970's, acupuncture was being taught in oriental medicine universities in the United States and about the same time, different healing professions began teaching brief instruction courses on the subject.

A Simple, Easy-to-Understand Explanation of Acupuncture
Dynamic Chiropractic, Oct 26, 2006 by Amaro, John

One particular request I hear more often than anything else is for help in explaining what acupuncture is and how it works. As one reader put it, "[I find] myself sometimes tongue tied when I'm asked to describe how acupuncture works. I hear myself and I sound like I'm spouting mumbo jumbo."

Bear in mind that our typical patient is a contemporary Western patient who has grown up under the guidance and care of allopathic physicians - receiving myriad vaccinations, a history of taking a variety of prescription and over-the-counter medications - and who is now developing an interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Acupuncture and TCM are totally new to them, and even though they have heard positive remarks as to its clinical success and see it as the possibility of redemption of their problem, it remains controversial and, if anything, just "weird." Though they don't question their medical practitioner regarding how a specific medication works physiologically and pharmacologically, this is not the case with acupuncture; almost everyone wants to know exactly how it works.

So, what is acupuncture and how does it work? These are two of the paramount questions people ask. Of course, the other significant questions are, Can it help me? How long will it take? Since every case is different in terms of length of treatment, and the possibility of helping varies according to the extent of the condition, the only thing that might be answered generically is, "What is acupuncture?"

The One Acupuncture Point
Everyone Should Know?

A doctor uses acupuncture to treat a patient. body.
Balance within the body depends on the interplay between two forms of energy, called yin and yang. When these forces are in harmony, the body is healthy. When either force becomes dominant, disease or pain occurs. Acupuncture restores the balance between yin and yang by tapping into the body's channels, or meridians, through which these energy forms flow.

What about the acupuncture meridians themselves?
Bear in mind that most have never heard of such an unusual concept. We are basically knowledgeable about nerves, blood vessels, muscles, etc., as one can visualize and actually demonstrate hard evidence of their existence. Suddenly, we are presented with a concept of invisible meridians that carry invisible qi energy. May have never encountered anything so mystical regarding the human body; suddenly, we're are being asked to accept with blind faith a concept that goes beyond their general understanding of anatomy and physiology.

When I explain the meridian system of the body,

He shows people a graphic of a meridian; for example, the Foot Shao Yang (Gallbladder) meridian .He explains to them that even though the ancients recognized and discovered the meridian system thousands of years ago, science today is recognizing the electromagnetic potential of the body, which is what the meridian system is based on.
Today we have electrical muscle exams (EMGs), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other tests based on the body's basic biomagnetic system. Science and the medical profession have accepted the existence of the meridian system as an integral part of human functioning; it controls and coordinates the electromagnetic system of the body, which might control all other systems of the body.

He continues to explain that the meridian system is very similar to radio, in that radio waves likewise cannot be seen by the human eye, but we all understand they do exist. Meridian acupuncture compares to radio in that if a city has 12 radio stations, much like our 12 meridians, it is imperative that each specific station broadcast at its individual frequency. In other words, if a station is operating at 94.5 on the dial, it comes in loud and clear; however if it comes in at 94.4 or 94.6 the radio broadcast is only static. There is nothing wrong with the radio; the fine tuning is out of adjustment. A simple adjustment to the radio will bring it into full normalcy.

Two very different theories exist as to how acupuncture works. According to Chinese philosophy, the body contains two opposing forces: yin and yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. Energy, called "qi" (pronounced "chee"), flows like rivers along pathways, or meridians, throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and yang balanced. However, the flow of energy can sometimes be blocked, like water getting stuck behind a dam. A disruption in the flow of energy can lead to illness.

Acupuncture deals with homeostasis or the body's ability to maintain balance. The person who is out of balance electromagnetically becomes ill and expresses specific symptoms. This explanation is simple to understand and best of all, simple to remember . Hopefully this allows us to have a much better understanding of electromagnetic balance and what might occur when each meridian becomes challenged.

What conditions are most often treated with acupuncture?
In veterinary medicine, there is evidence of the success of acupuncture for treating disorders of the reproductive, musculoskeletal, neurologic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and dermatologic systems. The most common conditions that are treated include traumatic nerve injuries, intervertebral disk disease, degenerative myelopathy, epilepsy and other central nervous system disorders; asthma, allergic dermatitis, lick granulomas; and chronic pain such as that caused by degenerative joint disease.

Acupuncture can be used in conjunction with general anesthesia, allowing decreased doses of drugs such as analgesics. Any condition may potentially benefit from acupuncture

The use of acupuncture for treating illnesses and relieving pain dates back thousands of years in China. Continuous refining of the process and monitoring the effects of the classic acupuncture which uses needles was obviously on of the reasons that this kind of "alternative" became accepted by western health professionals.
Scientific evidence for the mechanism of action is extensive.
Electro acupuncture was developed many years ago and is being used successfully worldwide.
