What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture, an integral part of Chinese medicine, has been practised for over 5,000 years and has gained significant recognition as a holistic and natural approach to healthcare in the Western world. It is embraced by millions of individuals worldwide.

The primary aim of inserting acupuncture needles is to restore and rebalance the flow of energy, or Qi, within the body. Traditional Chinese medicine views the body as a complex network of interconnected meridians through which Qi flows. When there is an imbalance or blockage in the flow of Qi, it is thought to manifest as physical or emotional symptoms. By strategically inserting needles at specific acupuncture points along these meridians, acupuncturists aim to regulate the Qi and promote its smooth and harmonious circulation.

Acupuncture involves gently placing small, fine needles into the skin to stimulate nerves and tissues, encouraging the affected area to heal and relieving tension, stress, and discomfort. This is not a painful process, though you may feel a dull sensation or a slight tingle. Many patients find it a calm and relaxing experience.

What will be your experience during your acupuncture appointment?

During your initial appointment, our experienced team will conduct a comprehensive assessment to evaluate whether acupuncture may be a suitable treatment option for you. We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to create a personalised treatment plan.

Your acupuncture session will last between 20 and 40 minutes. During your acupuncture sessions, you will lie down while one of our physiotherapists gently inserts the thin needles into your specific points to stimulate the nerves under the skin’s surface. We ensure the acupuncture process remains sterile by using sterile, single-use acupuncture needles.

  Exploring Common Inquiries About Acupuncture

Are there any discomforts associated with acupuncture?

  If you have concerns about the potential pain associated with acupuncture, rest assured that acupuncture needles are not like the ones used for injections or blood tests. They are incredibly thin, much finer than a hair, and are inserted with great care and gentleness. As a result, most people find the experience to be painless and even relaxing. It’s important to note that everyone’s sensitivity to acupuncture may vary, but the overall consensus is that the procedure is not painful. Occasionally, minor bruising or tiny spots of blood may occur at the insertion site, but these are usually harmless and resolve quickly.

Is acupuncture safe?

At NDPE, your safety is our top priority. When it comes to acupuncture, we follow strict guidelines and use sterile needles that meet Australian standards. Our experienced physiotherapists are well-trained in performing acupuncture safely and thoroughly. We understand that improper acupuncture techniques may lead to adverse reactions, which is why we emphasise the importance of choosing a qualified and experienced therapist for your treatment. Rest assured that with us, you’re in safe hands.

Do I need to rest after a session?

To maximise the benefits of acupuncture, it is recommended to rest and give your body time to integrate the treatment. While you may engage in light activities right after your session, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for a few hours. Acupuncture has a relaxing effect, and you may feel pleasantly sleepy afterwards. It’s important to be aware of this potential effect and plan your schedule accordingly, especially for your initial session.
