What Is This Treatment All About

chiropractic and acupuncture is a treatment which requires the insertion of needles in various point of the body. These are referred to as the trigger points. Yes, the insertion of the needles does cause tiny injuries at the point of contact. But the injury is minimal or even insignificant in nature. It is supposed to strengthen the immune system of the body, improve blood circulation in specific areas of the body. It also could help in wound healing and also for pain management and modulation.

What Is The Philosophy

The philosophy behind acupuncture is based on the life-giving force referred to as ‘qi’ but pronounced as ‘chee’. When ‘chee’ is normal and flowing the right way and in the right force, then a person would be in normal health. However, whenever there is a problem with the flow of ‘chee’ it could lead to illnesses of different types and categories. The basic objective of acupuncture is to ensure that the right balance is maintained and this is done only when “chee” is working properly. This is where acupuncture could play a big role.

What Kind Of Ailments Can It Be Effective
