Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice from China that has a history of 3000 years. It is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an effective treatment for various pathological conditions. At Kairon Polyclinic, our licensed acupuncturists are passionate about helping you achieve and maintain better health using traditional methods.
What is Acupuncture? Understanding the Basics and Types
Acupuncture is a centuries-old Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into various specific points on your body surface. These points, called “meridians,” are connected to your body’s energy channels and help regulate your physiological and psychological health.
Basics of Acutherapy
Acutherapy is a natural way to ease your body’s pain. It’s based on several key ideas from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), such as:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Theory
It says your body has a special energy called Qi (“chee”), which flows throughout. So, when Qi flows smoothly, you feel well. When it gets blocked, you feel sick. TCM focuses on fixing these blockages to restore your health.
Meridians and Acupoints
Suppose your body has roads called meridians that carry the Qi. There are particular spots (acupoints) along the pathway where Qi can become blocked. Our team of acupuncturists uses needles to clear these blockages and help the Qi to flow again.
Ying & Yang Balance
Your body has two forces: Ying (cool and calm) and Yang (warm and energetic). Acutherapy helps to maintain balance among these forces so that your body functions at its best.
Types of Acupuncture – Choose What Works For You
Needle therapy has several methods to make you feel better, relaxed, and comfortable. In Kairon Polyclinic, our expert ACU practitioners offer the following types of treatment:
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCA)
This type is based on the energy (Qi) flow (smooth and obstructive) mechanism as discussed above. Our acupuncturist uses TCA to identify the patterns of energy imbalance in your body and create personalized treatment plans for chronic pain, stress and anxiety, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalance.
Electroacupuncture (EA)
Our acupuncturists use electrical currents to stimulate the acupoints in your body. This type is effective for muscle relaxation, scar tissue repair, pain management, wound healing, and inflammation.
Auricular Acupuncture (AA)
Auriculotherapy mainly focuses on the ear and according to the AA principle, the ear is like a tiny body map in which we will use fine needles on your ear to stimulate its specific points. This technique is very beneficial for people facing Insomnia, Depression, Addiction, Anxiety, and stress.
Scalp Acupuncture
This technique involves the insertion of thin, soft needles into specific functioning areas of the brain. It is often used for the treatment of neurological disorders, stroke rehabilitation, and psycho-emotional conditions.
Fire Cupping (Needle-free Acu technique)
An ancient therapeutic approach that involves placing heated cups on the skin to create suction and increase blood flow to targeted areas. This Chinese cupping therapy is now frequently in use with acupuncture to enhance its therapeutic objectives. It’s effective for people facing respiratory, skin, menstrual, digestive problems or muscle tension.
Additional Acupuncture Methods
There are also condition-specific acupuncture treatment options at Kairon Pilyclinic besides the traditional ones, including:
Cosmetic Acupuncture
A natural and non-invasive approach to anti-aging and skin healing, most effective for hair loss, skin tone, and texture, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
Laser Acupuncture
In this treatment, we will use a low-level laser to stimulate your acupoints, which helps in pain relief, healing, and relaxation.
Acupressure
It works by applying gentle pressure to acupoints and is ideal for those who prefer a needle-free treatment. It helps in supporting the immune system, stress, anxiety, and digestive issues.
