[Edit this paragraph] The characteristics of acupuncture therapy
Acupuncture therapy is a unique medical method created by working people in ancient China. Acupuncture consists of "needle" and "moxibustion", which is one of the important components of Chinese medicine. Its contents include acupuncture theory, acupoints, acupuncture techniques and related instruments. In the process of its formation, application and development, it has distinctive Chinese national culture and regional characteristics, and is a valuable heritage based on Chinese national culture and scientific tradition.
The characteristic of acupuncture therapy is that it does not rely on taking medicine to treat diseases, but only uses acupuncture on a certain part of the patient's body to stab nerves and cause local reactions, or burns the part with the warm stimulation of fire to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. The former is called acupuncture, and the latter is called moxibustion, collectively referred to as acupuncture therapy.
Clinically, acupuncture therapy can diagnose the cause, find out the key to the disease, determine the nature of the disease, determine which meridian and which viscera the disease belongs to, and determine whether it belongs to exterior, cold and heat, deficiency and excess, so as to make a diagnosis. Then make the corresponding acupoint prescription for treatment. In order to dredge meridians, regulate qi and blood, make yin and yang relatively balanced, and make the functions of viscera tend to be harmonious, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.
Acupuncture therapy has many advantages: first, it has a wide range of indications and can be used for the treatment and prevention of many diseases such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ent, etc. Second, the effect of treating diseases is relatively rapid and remarkable, especially it has good functions of stimulating physical function, improving disease resistance, sedation and analgesia; Third, the operation method is simple and easy; Fourth, the economy of medical expenses; Fifth, it has no or few side effects, is basically safe and reliable, and can be combined with other therapies for comprehensive treatment. These are also the reasons why it has always been welcomed by the people.
In the long-term medical practice, acupuncture has formed a meridian theory consisting of fourteen meridians, eight odd meridians, fifteen different meridians, twelve meridians, twelve tendons, twelve skin parts, sun collaterals, floating collaterals, etc., as well as the knowledge of acupoints such as 3 1 point and odd meridians and the main diseases of acupoints, and found the law of specific connection between specific parts of the human body.
[Edit this paragraph] Does acupuncture hurt?
Whether acupuncture has pain depends on two aspects, one is the doctor and the other is the patient.
Generally speaking, acupuncture will produce sour, numbness, swelling, heaviness, pain and other feelings after piercing the human body. These are the reactions of acupuncture getting angry, which is a good performance and an index to test whether acupuncture is "qualified". If there is no feeling after the needle is inserted into the human body, it means that acupuncture is "not qualified" and the doctor's acupuncture skills are questionable.
A good doctor, after his acupuncture goes deep into the patient's body, will make the patient feel sore, numb, swollen, heavy or painful locally. This feeling does not exist in the patient's epidermis, but comes from where the needle tip reaches. A good acupuncturist will let the needle tip reach a large area to produce these feelings, and the diameter of the place where the feelings are produced can reach 5 cm or more. This feeling is a very comfortable feeling, a feeling of stirring the sink, a feeling of massaging the strained shoulder and back.
Poor doctors bring pain to patients when inserting and performing needles. This kind of pain is very uncomfortable. This painful part is on the surface of the skin, which is a stinging pain that pulls the skin. It is different from the "pain" mentioned above that feels very comfortable. The above pain occurs in the deep layer, that is, where the needle tip reaches, that is, where there is pain.
Of course, a relaxed patient will also cooperate with the doctor to reduce the probability of pain caused by acupuncture. A very nervous patient, his pain will often happen.
Therefore, the pain of acupuncture is not absolute, and good pain can alleviate the pain of patients. The pain is severe because the patient is nervous and the doctor is not skilled.
If you can relax wholeheartedly when doing acupuncture and find a good acupuncturist to insert needles, then you will basically not be troubled by pain.
