What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice and an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It originated in China approximately 3000 years ago. According to TCM, There is always energy flowing in our body known as “Qi.” When the flow is disturbed, it causes various mental and physical problems. “Acupuncture is used to reawaken this energy flow. It involves inserting fine needles into specific acupoints in the body,” says Robert.

Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is used to treat various mental as well as physical health conditions including:

Types of Acupuncture In Manhattan

Pra

TCM Acupuncture

TCM acupuncture is the most common type of acupuncture technique practitioners use in the practice. It balances the energy flow in the body. This energy flow is "Qi". When the Qi is imbalanced or blocked, it causes problems in the body. TCM acupuncture restores this Qi imbalance. It aims to alleviate various health issues and promote overall well-being.

Japanese Style Acupuncture

Japanese Acupuncture, similar to TCM, focuses on balancing the body's energy flow but typically uses thinner needles and a shallower insertion technique. Also, the fundamental principles of Japanese acupuncture are the same as TCM acupuncture. Both TCM and Japanese acupuncture correct the imbalance in the body's vital energy.

Korean acupuncture

Unlike TCM and Japanese acupuncture, Korean acupuncture only uses four needles in the procedure. Needle insertion takes place either on the hands or ears. Korean Acupuncture helps with pain relief, stress reduction, improved sleep, digestion, and overall well-being.

Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture involves inserting fine needles with mild electric current into specific acupoints. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, applying current tends to stimulate "Qi" more effectively. It increases the therapeutic effects of TCM acupuncture. Electroacupuncture is primarily used for pain management, nerve-related conditions, and muscle issues.

Cosmetic acupuncture

It is also known as aesthetic acupuncture, facial acupuncture, or acupuncture facelift. In cosmetic acupuncture, needles are inserted into certain points of the face to promote blood circulation and collagen production. Cosmetic acupuncture is used to treat various aesthetic problems such as acne, open pores, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, It also reduces puffiness and facial swelling, improves facial muscle tone, as well as eases jaw tension. 

Sports Acupuncture

As the name suggests, sports acupuncture treats sports injuries such as bruises, sprains, strains, and joint injuries. Sports acupuncture promotes faster recovery as well as preventing future injuries. Sports acupuncture is a combination of TCM Acupuncture and other Western medicine techniques such as massage, bodywork, and assisted stretching.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Treatment in Manhattan

Initial Consultation:

During your first visit to my Manhattan acupuncture clinic, you will have a detailed discussion with me. During this initial consultation, I will ask a couple of questions about various aspects of your health, lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns, medical history, stress levels, and your expectations from acupuncture treatment. I would advise you to answer all the questions thoroughly. It will be very helpful for me to prepare a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Pulse and Tongue Diagnosis:

Once we’re done with the initial consultation, I will utilize traditional diagnostic methods like pulse and tongue examination to prepare a personalized treatment plan for you. Pulse and tongue examinations provide critical indicators of your overall health and well-being. It helps me understand the imbalance in the body’s energy flow known as “Qi”. Based on my observation, I will design a comprehensive treatment plan tailored specifically to address your unique health needs. 

Acupuncture Treatment

It’s time for you to experience an actual acupuncture treatment in my well-maintained office. I’ll make sure that you feel comfortable throughout the treatment period. I’ll insert sterilized, ultra-fine needles into precise acupuncture points across your body. You might experience mild sensations like tingling or slight pressure while inserting the needles. Some of my clients find these experience soothing. You may take a nap during the session. It allows the treatment to unfold seamlessly.

Frequency of Treatments

I tailor the frequency and duration of your acupuncture treatments in Manhattan based on your unique health needs. Some people might need only three to four acupuncture sessions to see the results, while some may need more than ten. The numbers solely depend on the patient’s condition and their adaptability.
