What is ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture is a time-honoured therapy that involves the gentle insertion of ultra-fine, stainless-steel single-use needles into carefully selected points on the body to regulate the flow of ‘Qi’, vital energy, that circulates through pathways called meridians in the body. Rooted in traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture has long beed recognised for its ability to alleviate pain, but not only. It has also been used to enhance overall wellness, including anxiety and stress relieve, digestion and reproductive issues, insomnia, and autoimmune conditions.
Strong emotions, stress, environmental toxins, injuries, viral infections, poor nutrition can cause the Qi to become depleted or blocked, leading to pain or illness.
Acupuncture needles help restore the Qi to a balanced flow, thereby triggering a natural healing response, as well as inducing a state of relaxation and a sense of well-being.

How does ACUPUNCTURE work?
Acupuncture has been demonstrated to reduce activity in the parts of the brain associated with the perception of pain and increase activity in brain areas associated with improved self-regulation. A number of other biochemicals involved in pain reduction have been found to be released by acupuncture needle stimulation, including ATP, adenosine, and GABA. Acupuncture has direct effect on the central nervous system. These include spinal reflex effects, where acupuncture stimulates muscle relaxation and blood flow into visceral organs. In the brain, acupuncture improves the regulation of the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal axis, the primary systems that the body uses for regulating hormones and the physiological stress response. |
Additionally, acupuncture modulates parasympathetic activity, the branch of the nervous system associated with rest, relaxation, digestion and tissue healing
Acupuncture helps improve circulation be relaxing muscles and expanding blood vessels. Increased blood flow to uterus and surrounding tissues can alleviate pain associated with cramps and spasms. Increased blood flow to muscles can alleviate pain associated with strains and injuries.
Acupuncture is also thought to help regulate the hormonal system that govern the menstrual cycle. It may influence levels of prostaglandin, the hormone -like substances that cause the uterus to contract.

What to expect
Initial consultation and treatment begins with comprehensive evaluation of you condition, you goals and expectations. You will also be asked about you general health, medical history, diet, sleep habits, emotional state and general wellbeing. If you have any blood or functional test done recently, we might discuss this either. I will ask you to show me your tongue, and will check your pulse. Based on conventional and Chinese Medicine diagnostic principles, I will explain my thoughts about the imbalances of your body-mind-emotions, and possible triggers like environmental toxins, poor nutrition or stress management, negatively affecting your health. The acupuncture treatment itself takes around 30-40min. The stillness, you will be in while lying with acupuncture needles, will put you into deep relaxation and thoughtless state. That will the best half an hour spend in your day! DEEP OSCILLATION therapy might be included in acupuncture treatment in pain and neurological conditions. Electrostatic massage contributes to a faster restoration in sensitivity, the volume of movements in joints (knee, shoulders, fingers) and reduction of numbness, oedema and pain. |
