Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice originating in traditional Chinese medicine, effectively treats chronic pain in the back, neck, shoulder, and joints, as well as headaches/migraines and osteoarthritis. Practitioners stimulate specific points on the body through the insertion of hair-thin needles. Sacha Wasi Jungle Medical Clinic blends modern Western technology with traditional Eastern wisdom to offer
natural pain relief and enhanced health through acupuncture treatments.

The origins of acupuncture

Acupuncture, based on Chinese theory, involves the stimulation of over 300 points on the body connected by 12 main and 8 secondary pathways, known as meridians. The flow of energy, called Qi, through these points is believed to maintain good health. Imbalances in the flow of Qi can cause pain and the aim of acupuncture is to restore balance and alleviate pain. The popularity of acupuncture increased in the US in the 1970s after a New York Times reporter wrote positively about his post-operative treatment with acupuncture in China.

What is an acupuncture treatment?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and alleviate pain. It is performed by trained professionals using high-grade stainless steel needles that are disposable and individually packaged for maximum hygiene. During the procedure, patients may feel a slight prick or no sensation at all. Despite this, most people find the experience relaxing and calming. Scientific evidence suggests that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and can also alter blood flow in the brain. The specific techniques used in acupuncture, including the type of needle, insertion points, and method of insertion, can vary and are tailored to the individual’s needs.

How long does it take?

Preparation and treatment times vary and can range anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.

What are the expected results?

Results can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response. While some may find immediate relief, others may require several treatments over a few days before noticing there is an improvement.

Is there a longer-lasting therapy?

At Sacha Wasi Jungle Medical Clinic, we not only offer acupuncture but a variety of treatments aimed at reducing pain and enhancing your overall well-being. Acupuncture can be combined with other alternative therapies for maximum benefit, making it a versatile and complementary component of a holistic approach to health.
