Foreword

The classic Chinese explanation of acupuncture is that channels of energy run in even patterns through the body and across its surface. These energy channels, named meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nutrify the tissues. A blockage in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dyke that backs up in others.

The meridians may be molded by needling the acupuncture points; the acupuncture needles release the blockages at the dams, and restore the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments may therefore help the body's internal organs to rectify instabilities in their digestion, absorption, and energy production actions, and in the circulation of their power through the meridians.

Introduction To Acupuncture

Think acupuncture, think needles. Primarily this is the way most people view the art of acupuncture. These needles are inserted into the skin but not too deeply; it would seem, at various locations to relieve pain or to correct a negative problem in a particular body part.

The Beginning

It is not surprising to note that this art form originated from ancient china. The early Chinese physicians discovered the energy network just below the surface of the skin which communicated and connects the exterior surroundings to the internal organs and the various individual body systems in over a thousand acupoints. These acupoints are found in specific strategic places all over the body.

By addressing the imbalances in the body system through these various acupoints the practitioner is able to restore harmony or address any negative occurrences.
The basic idea behind acupuncture is to correct the balance and restore it to an optimum positive functioning level. By correcting the balance, one corrects the problem.

Originally discovered as an ideal way to keep pain under control or eliminate it altogether, it then went on to explore the possibility in restore the individual’s health by seeking to correct the balance in the body system.

The assumption that this art form is painful as it consists of using needles as the primary way of approaching the treatment is totally unfounded. The needles are so delicately fine.

Ideally the individual considering this form of treatment should be willing to commit to at least a dozen sessions before the optimum levels can be reached. However some have attested to seeing results as quickly as after a few sessions only. There are also some who experience worsening conditions; this is because the body is in the process of correcting itself. Thus by sticking to the desired amount of sessions, eventual positive results will unfold.

How Acupuncture Can Diminish Neck, Shoulder And Back Pain

Explained the most basic way, is that acupuncture uses an examination style that takes the pulse for diagnosis purposes; then the trained practitioner will be able to determine the balance of the twelve meridians and its working percentage.

Clear Up The Pain

There are various areas that acupuncture has been proven to be able to provide relief to when this style of treatment is sought. Most neck and shoulder problems are caused by muscle tension and stiffness.

These conditions are mostly caused by the regular routine of most office bound workers who tend to be in a sitting position for the most part of a working day.

Couple this with the strain the eyes are put through when working on a computer is what causes these muscle tensions. Other reasons for these tense muscles are stress and tiredness.

Acupuncture addresses this problem by locating the important acupoints nearest to the problem area, which in this case is the “fuchi” point at the top of the neck, just below the hairline. This is the area that mostly affects the neck muscles.

As for the shoulder muscles the problem areas are found to be in the large muscle between the neck and the shoulder joint and the muscles between the shoulder blades. Acupuncture needles are then applied to these points to relieve the stiffness and increase local tissue circulation and induce additional relaxation responses. The better circulation eases the general tension in the area, thus eradication the discomfort originally felt.
