What Our Patients Say!
What is Alleviate Physiotherapy?
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been part of the traditional Chinese therapy for many years. It is based on the belief that there are energy forces within the human body and an imbalance or disruption in the flow of this energy results in pain and illness. Instead of the flow of energy, the Western approach to acupuncture is focused largely on the stimulation of nerves, muscles and connective tissue for pain relief. Therapists who are trained in western medical acupuncture technique aim at alleviating the pain by inserting small needles into your body at specific pinpoints to improve blood flow and relieve the stress.
FAQs
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture points are found near nerves, muscles, and connective tissue of the human body. Thin needles are inserted around the pain-stricken area which help stimulate the blood flow and also increase the release of endorphins which are the body’s natural pain killers. The synergistic effects of the increased blood flow and endorphins lead to a drastic reduction in your pain symptoms.
At what age can one start acupuncture?
There is no fixed age to undertake acupuncture. Even a child can reap the benefits of acupuncture.
How long does it take to heal?
The healing times depend largely on the severity of the illness and the reaction of the body to the treatment. Ideally, a young person responds quicker than older individuals.
Is it a painful procedure?
This process is mainly painless, though you may feel a slight discomfort at the time of needle insertion.
