Acupuncture is an age-old oriental form of holistic medicine. The benefits of acupuncture are well-known but not well-understood. If you ask an average person about acupuncture, they will likely only be able to mention that it involves needles being placed on various parts of the body. In truth, it is a holistic form of medical treatment that uses certain points in the body to treat different ailments, both physical and mental.
The benefits arise from the direct interaction of qualified acupuncturists at James Snow Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre with the body’s internal energy. James Snow acupuncturists have a strong belief that illness is caused by a blockage of the body’s natural energy or could be a result of weakened energy of the person’s body. When there is a negative state or weakened energy, it opens gates to sickness and mental strife.
Acupuncture benefits are given by rebalancing the flow of energy via needles being inserted into various acu-points on the body; the points chosen are directly related to the specific illness a person presents. Proper treatment by a trained professional will give adequate relief to the energy issue and thus heal the illness.
Many doctors recommend acupuncture treatment before opting for heavy medication. Acupuncture is well-known as an accepted form of pain management. In this, acupuncture benefits not only by relieving pain, but also by limit the amount of chemicals in the body.
Acupuncture treatment has also been found to be very beneficial for patients who undergo surgery. Many patients who undergo surgery like to opt for the least chemical approach, this encourages them to feel more vital and get back to their “normal” self after an operative procedure.
