Acupuncture (acupuncture) is an old Chinese treatment method using needles that are inserted into specific points on the body. Acupuncture began to develop in China as early as the third millennium BC, when the Chinese Emperor Hu An T. (Yellow Emperor) wrote the first Nei Jing book on acupuncture. It is also the oldest medical work in the world. Already in this book, the definition of health and disease is given in accordance with the physiology and pathology of individual organs and their functions.
In 1979, the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed acupuncture as a modern method of treating various diseases. Since then, acupuncture has been recognized in many countries. Chinese doctors have discovered that an energy called qi passes through our body. This energy moves along special meridians that pass over the surface of the body and enter the internal organs. Acupuncture points lie on these meridians, through which we influence the work of internal organs. Qi represents the two poles of yin and yang, which are closely related to each other, opposite, influence each other and cannot exist without each other.
Acupuncture can be performed in several ways. The oldest and most classic method is to insert needles into acupuncture points. Very thin needles are used, which practically do not cause pain. In addition to needles, spot electrical stimulation, moxibustion and a laser beam are also used. If these devices are not available, you can use acupressure, which is performed with a fingertip or a sharp object. Indications for acupuncture are very numerous and include a wide range of diseases, pain syndromes, psychological problems, it is also indicated in gynecology, obstetrics and anesthesia.
The most common indications for acupuncture are migraine, headache, asthma, hay fever (allergies), back pain, paresis of the extremities, various nervous disorders (for example, anxiety, tremor, nervousness, depression). It is successful after surgery on the shoulder joint and with its poor mobility. Acupuncture can affect dizziness, bronchitis, urinary disorders and in gynecology, especially in preparation for childbirth.
The needles are inserted into the body at different angles and at different depths. For chronic diseases and severe pain syndromes, 10 therapies are recommended, and even more in very severe cases. In acute cases (rash on the lips - herpes simplex), four procedures in two days (2 times a day) are enough. With laser acupuncture, the points are stimulated for about 30 seconds. This acupuncture is equivalent to classical acupuncture.
The most common contraindications for acupuncture are: severe nausea, acute intoxication, acute psychotic states, severe arousal, patients with pacemakers or patients immediately after radiation therapy, as well as high doses of corticosteroids and psychopharmaceuticals.
Acupuncture is a recognized method that is increasingly used in the treatment of diseases and pain syndromes. With the help of a laser, acupuncture has become available to those people who are afraid of needles.
Acupuncture is suitable due to its wide range of applications as an independent therapy or in combination with classical medicine, especially when drug treatment is ineffective.
