Acupuncture is a proven minimally invasive approach to promote the body's healing capacity and improve overall well-being.
Acupuncture is a medical practice that has been used for thousands of years and can provide a holistic approach to health and wellness. Acupuncture is firmly rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as it is one of the 5 pillars besides nutrition, medicine, Qi Gong (exercise therapy), and Tuina (massage technique). Part of this philosophy includes the 5 Element Theory and the 8 guiding criteria: Yin and Yang, inside and outside, fullness and emptiness, heat and cold.
TCM has gained worldwide recognition for its effectiveness on a variety of health issues, from chronic pain to stress management.
Fine, medical, sterile needles are inserted into defined points on the body located on so-called meridians (energy pathways). The depth and localization of the points are the result of thorough training and many years of experience. All meridians represent specific organs or systems of the whole body. Acupuncture aims to balance the flow of Qi (pronounced "chi") - in the figurative sense of life energy or life force - and thereby promote natural healing.
Newest insights reveal that acupuncture can stimulate or calm the nervous system by releasing endorphins and other neurochemicals that reduce pain and induce relaxation, thus promoting healing and improving overall well-being. This ability makes acupuncture a valuable treatment option.
During the treatment, the patient lies comfortably on a treatment table. The acupuncture needles are carefully inserted at defined acupuncture points on the meridians. The needles remain in the body for about 20-30 minutes while the patient relaxes quietly. The treatment can vary depending on the patient's health condition.
