Q
How does it work?
Answer:
In traditional Chinese Medicine, there are 12 pairs of meridian and 8 extra
meridians. They inter-connect and communicate with each other, go through
the superficial body surface and internal organs.
Qi (energy) and Xue (blood) flow through distinct meridians that cover the
body. When flow of ‘Qi’ and ‘Xue’ is influenced,
problems start. One of the manifestations may be pain. Through the manipulation
of acupuncture needles on specific acupuncture points, the therapist can
regulate and restore the harmonious energetic balance of the body. In Chinese
there is a saying, “Tong ze bu tong, bu tong ze tong”, which
translates to “There is no pain if the flow is smooth, if there is
pain, flow is obstructed”.
Q
How soon can I see the effect of treatment?
Answer: Patients respond differently to acupuncture, so the effects depend
on the duration and severity of the condition, the energy level of the body,
and the life style of the patient. Usually for acute conditions (less than
one year), a positive difference should be seen in 2 to 4 treatments. For
more chronic conditions, more treatments may be required.

Does it hurt?
Answer: Sensations such as ‘heaviness’, ‘swollen’, ‘distention’,
or ‘radiating’ feeling traveling up or down along the meridian
may be experienced. In Chinese medicine, this is call ‘De Qi’ (get
the energy under the needle). With ‘De Qi’, treatment is usually
more effective. Therapist should be able to adjust its technique according
to the feeling of the patient and manipulate the needle accordingly.

a week, when conditions (pain) are under control patients may be recommended
