What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a Chinese traditional science of prevention and treatment of disease by needling method.

Acupuncture is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine. It dates back as early as the New Stone Age in China when its ancient inhabitants used bian stone, the earliest known acupuncture instrument to treat disease. Later, as technology developed, bone and bamboo were used as needles. And even-tually, with the introduction of metal casting, needles fashioned from iron, gold, bronze and other metals became the standard tool for acupuncture.

Does acupuncture hurt?

No, the special disposable needles are applied onto the outermost layer of the skin and will not penetrate the sensitive tissue. During its application, there may be a slight sensation as the Chi or energy gets stimulated. Otherwise, the procedure is done in a very relaxing and calming manner. Oftentimes, patients have a restful nap during the session and emerge refreshed and relieved from their symptoms.

Does it have any side-effects?

Since it is a non-invasive procedure, acupuncture does not have any known side-effects nor will it interfere with any on-going medication.
