Painless acupuncture for pain relief

Acupuncture (needle therapy, or zhen-jiu) is one of the oldest forms of treatment, based on the concepts of the traditional Chinese medicine about the life force (Qi). According to Chinese philosophy, diseases arise due to a violation of the Qi circulation in the body. To restore the flow of this energy, to synchronize the meridians and their corresponding organs, it is necessary to stimulate certain points on the body with the help of special thin needles.

Who is acupuncture treatment recommended for?

  • Those who want to get rid of musculoskeletal problems (neck, back, waist, and other joint and muscle pain);
  • Those who seek relief for skeletal system issues, such as pain relief from joint degeneration, or rehabilitation after injuries;
  • Those who suffer from neurological conditions such as chronic headaches, migraines, dizziness, or constant tinnitus;
  • For individuals suffering from certain types of eczema and allergies;
  • For those who want complementary therapy in the treatment of allergic respiratory diseases.

How does acupuncture work?

Acupuncture treatment is based on traditional Chinese medicine. The human body has energy channels, and according to ancient Chinese medicine, life energy (chi) flows freely through these channels. Diseases are caused by disruptions in the flow of chi. By inserting thin acupuncture needles into specific acupuncture points, energy blockages can be dissolved, restoring the flow of energy.

The scientific foundation of acupuncture lies in the structure of nerve pathways, which have specific stimulation – acupuncture – points. Stimulating these points leads to the production of pain-relieving endorphins and enhances the body’s self-regenerating abilities. The treatment is not only physically healing but also has a therapeutic effect on a mental level. In the case of musculoskeletal ailments, acupuncture can be perfectly combined with collagen therapy.

How does acupuncture treatment work?

Acupuncture treatment does not require any home preparation or special preparation. Upon arriving at the clinic, the physician will first determine the areas where the needles will be inserted. After disinfecting the areas, a very thin (approximately 0.2 mm thick) disposable sterile medical needle is inserted into the upper layer of the skin. The thickness of the needle is similar to that of a dark hair.

During a treatment, a maximum of 10-15 needles are inserted, which cause no significant discomfort: there may be a mild tingling sensation or warmth. The acupuncture treatment takes approximately forty minutes, from skin disinfection to needle removal.

How many acupuncture treatments does a therapy consist of?

The treatments should be applied in a course, with regular repetitions. Depending on the existing issue and the patient’s condition, a typical course consists of 8-12 treatments, which should be performed twice a week. If the treatment is longer-term and focuses on addressing chronic problems, weekly or monthly sessions may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although medical needles are used during acupuncture, they are very thin, so the treatment is not painful. Patients may experience sensations like tingling, a stretching feeling, or slight redness, all of which generally subside within minutes. During the approximately half-hour session, while the acupuncture needles stimulate the upper layer of the skin, the patient typically enters a meditative, relaxed state. Afterward, the removal of the needles is associated with a mild tingling sensation.
