Acupuncture

What You Should Know About Acupuncture

Most people equate acupuncture with needles; this is correct; it does involve inserting very thin metallic needles into the body at key points to manipulate your Qi. Qi is believed to be your life force energy that flows through your body.

Acupuncture is minimally invasive. Other acupuncture methods may include or utilize magnetism, lasers, electromagnetic energy, or even heat applied to the specific Qi points of your body’s meridians or pathways, as they are called, stimulating the body’s central nervous system.

It can be used in tandem with other treatments to maximize healing.

What to Expect During Acupuncture Treatment
You can expect your first acupuncture appointment at Malibu Wellness, serving Malibu, CA, to last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. During this time, you will be assessed, and if acupuncture is beneficial to your health, you will proceed with treatment.

You will be asked to sit or lie down to receive treatment, and you may need to remove some clothing to allow the acupuncturist to access the necessary areas. You will be made as comfortable as possible in a private room.

The practitioner will insert the needles or use alternative methods in the critical areas. You may feel mild discomfort when a needle is inserted, but it should not be painful. Once the needles have been inserted, you will continue to sit or lie down quietly, keeping movement to a minimum. The practitioner will check on you throughout the session. This part will last anywhere between 20 and 45 minutes. After this, the needles will be removed, and you can get dressed.

At the end of the session, you may receive further advice, medicine, or a request to book more acupuncture appointments, but this varies depending on your individual needs.

The Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a complementary therapy and can help improve your overall quality of life, reduce chronic pain, and treat migraines, headaches, and other ailments. It is minimally invasive and can help treat acute pain without relying on prescription analgesics.

Acupuncture may also stimulate your overall energy and improve your mental fortitude and focus. And finally, it has a low risk of side effects and can assist in treating several health concerns simultaneously.
