Understanding Medical Acupuncture

Medical acupuncture represents a distinct yet deeply rooted approach to pain management, drawing upon the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It differs from conventional acupuncture in its focus; while traditional acupuncture aims to restore balance within the body and promote general wellness, medical acupuncture specifically targets pain pathways and utilizes acupuncture points to modulate the nervous system. It’s a recognized and increasingly accepted therapeutic modality utilized by licensed physicians and trained healthcare professionals. The technique involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles – often thinner than a human hair – at specific acupoints along meridian lines. These points are strategically selected based on a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, considering both Western diagnostic findings and TCM principles.

How Medical Acupuncture Works

The underlying mechanism of medical acupuncture is complex and not fully understood, though research suggests several pathways are involved. Stimulation of acupoints can influence:

• Neurotransmitter Release: Acupuncture can trigger the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine, which have analgesic (pain-reducing) and mood-enhancing effects.
• Gate Control Theory: This theory posits that acupuncture stimulation can activate nerve fibers that “close the gate” to pain signals traveling to the brain, effectively reducing the perception of pain.
• Inflammation Modulation: Studies indicate that medical acupuncture can influence inflammatory pathways in the body, potentially alleviating pain associated with inflammatory conditions.
• Nervous System Regulation: Acupuncture can modulate the activity of the autonomic nervous system, shifting the balance from the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, promoting relaxation and pain relief.

It's important to note that medical acupuncture isn’t simply a ‘placebo’; the observed effects are often clinically significant and demonstrate a genuine physiological response.

When I first went to receive the shockwave therapy in Medical Acupuncture, I was in a lot of pain. After 8 sessions of treatment, now I’m completely free of pain. I would definitely recommend this treatment for those who wants to get healed naturally as it is like a natural process of healing by sending the stem cells to that particular area. Thank you to the staff.

I had never considered acupuncture for any ailment but a friend recommended Hiroko for a pinched nerve in my neck. The pain was unbearable and persistent for weeks. I was trying anything that would bring even a little relief. After the first treatment, my pain did not disappear, but subsided significantly. After 3 treatments, I had zero pain. None. Nada. Miraculous in my mind. I continued with acupuncture for more sessions to maximize the healing but had no pain and full function after the initial three treatments.

Consider acupuncture as a option for ailments! The staff are incredibly nice and helpful, and Hiroko is, well, magical.

I had been struggling with persistent foot pain for months, and shockwave therapy was a game-changer. The treatment was quick, and while there was some mild discomfort, the results were well worth it. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in pain and improved mobility. Sammi was great during my treatments. Hiroko's team was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend this therapy for anyone dealing with issues!
