In today’s hustle and bustle world of high stress, high anxiety lifestyles, more and more people are seeking natural relief through ancient healing practices. Acupuncture in Toronto is growing in popularity as an effective remedy for chronic pain, stress, fatigue, and many other health problems.
Based on a system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been practiced for thousands of years, acupuncture works by retraining the body’s energy/meridian system back to its natural flow.
What is Acupuncture?
How acupuncture works is by inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points are located along meridians, or energy channels, which correspond to certain organs and systems. In TCM, the theory is that if the energy, or qi (chi), is blocked or out of balance, it can cause pain or even illness. Acupuncture activates these points to maintain balance and stimulate the healing process in the body.
Even modern science is beginning to recognize that acupuncture works. Research indicates it may stimulate nerves, increase blood flow, and release endorphins — your body’s natural painkillers.
Why Opt for Acupuncture Treatment in Toronto?
Toronto Acupuncture at King Thai Massage brings together a balance of ancient tradition and contemporary clinical treatment. Treatment is then designed around your specific ailment – a licensed acupuncturist can assist in relieving both physical pain and emotional distress.
Some of the conditions that acupuncture may address are:
Persistent (chronic) painful sensations (back, neck, joints);
Headaches related to migraines and tension
Stress and anxiety
Digestive issues
Disturbances in the menstrual period and hormone levels
Insomnia and fatigue
Allergies and sinus problems
As opposed to traditional treatments, which are otherwise based on symptoms alone, acupuncture treats the underlying cause—it’s the route to lasting health and vitality.
What to Expect After Your Session
Generally, your initial acupuncture will consist of some time for consultation. The provider will inquire about your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. They might feel your pulse, look at your tongue, and measure your overall energy levels.
When the diagnosis and treatment are decided, the acupuncturist will insert the needles at the required points on your body. You might feel a pinprick or slight tingling, although most people find it very relaxing. Sessions range from 30 to 60 minutes, and most patients feel calm, centered, and refreshed afterwards.
You are likely to need more than one session for the best effect, especially with chronic problems.
Why Consider Acupuncture?
The primary advantage of acupuncture is that it is a safe non-invasive treatment. When skillfully administered by an experienced practitioner, acupuncture has few side effects but benefits the body on many levels such as balancing the nervous system, reducing pain, and promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being and balance to the body.
If you need pain relief, but also want something natural to reduce stress, or you want to feel good, acupuncture can help.
