Acupuncture Therapy Helps with Chronic Pain, Anxiety, Infertility and Much More

Acupuncture in Tulsa: Acupuncture has been helping people for a long time, but it has been becoming more widespread and popular in the US in the last 20 years. An estimated 2.1 million Americans used acupuncture last year alone. Acupuncture is an ancient healing art based on inserting sterile needles into strategic points on the body that lie along specific energy meridian pathways. It is a non-invasive therapy that has been used to treat a number of conditions.

It can include a number of other techniques including electronic stimulation, magnets or lasers to acupuncture points for enhanced healing. Acupressure is also used.

Acupuncture is a Painless Procedure with Amazing Benefits

Acupuncture generally does not hurt. Some people report feeling the needles as they go in while others report feeling nothing at all. Acupuncture uses solid needles that are unlike hypodermic needles which contain a hollow point. This makes them much thinner with a circumference that roughly resembles the size of a human hair. Patients will often have sensations during the treatment which is the energy moving through the opening of a channel that has been blocked.

  • Allergies
  • Fibromyalgia

Acupressure Therapy

Acupressure uses gentle to firm finger pressure in the pressure points and meridians much like acupuncture does with the use of needles. As these acupressure points are stimulated, muscular tension releases, circulation of blood is promoted and the body’s life force energy is enhanced to aid in healing.

Benefits of acupressure include:

  • Releases tension
  • Increases circulation
  • Reduces pain
  • Provides emotional therapeutic results

When used properly, acupressure helps in promoting the circulation of blood. When you apply pressure to certain points, it helps in activating and opening up the flow of blood in the blood vessels present below the skin. This increase in blood flow helps almost all organs in the body regenerate and perform optimally. Acupressure therapy can be used to relieve pain, fortify the sexual reproductive system, improve appearance, relieve tension in the back and help heal emotional pain for greater health and beauty.

Acupressure therapy is highly effective for relieving muscular tension in all areas of the back. Important points are located along either side of the spine and on the upper back. Many people especially appreciate the release of tightness associated with lower back pain and sciatica. By relaxing and toning the back muscles, acupressure makes the spinal adjustments easier and more effective, and the chiropractic results last longer. In fact, acupressure and chiropractic treatments were originally practiced together in ancient China.

Acupressure has been known for centuries as the best remedy for common ailments like a headache, sinusitis and cold. The practice helps relieve pain and has been found useful especially to help people with headaches – drastically reducing the dependence on over-the-counter medicines.
