Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is Rooted in history. Yet, it is fairly new to our western culture.
So you may wonder, "How does Acupuncture Work?"
How does acupuncture work?
In Acupuncture we take small, fine needles and place them on very specific parts of your body. Where we place them is based on the type of disorder we are treating and over 300+ acupuncture points. Your body is always striving for homeostasis, or balance, and with the needles we are drawing your bodies attention to an area that needs healing. We reestablish communication and connection by drawing new Qi and Blood into the area so your body can heal itself.
Your body is self healing, Chinese Medicine is all about trying to give your body everything it needs in order to heal itself. The needle is just a tool to tap into your body’s ability to heal itself. It’s a stimulus to your nervous system. It acts as a small injury, a little bit of inflammation that stimulates your body to go into action.
There’s no medicine on that needle. The body creates the healing, the needle just elicits the response. Different places on your body, which we call Acupuncture points, do different things. Dr Niemeyer has six years of Chinese Medicine education which taught her where to place these needles for which type of condition. It’s amazing.
