Acupuncture

At Meybar Medical, we embrace a comprehensive, patient-centred care approach, incorporating modern and traditional healing practices. Among our diverse services, acupuncture stands out as a time-honoured therapy known for its broad range of health benefits. Acupuncture, originating in ancient Chinese medicine, has developed over millennia and is now widely recognised for its efficacy in addressing various health conditions.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture incorporates the insertion of extremely fine needles into the skin at specific locations on the body, referred to as acupoints. These points are chosen based on their ability to influence the body’s energy flow, or “Qi” (pronounced “chee”). In traditional Chinese medicine, Qi flows through pathways called meridians, and maintaining balance is essential for health and well-being. Acupuncture aims to restore this balance, encouraging natural healing and improved function.

How does acupuncture work?

Modern science indicates that acupuncture may stimulate the nervous system, prompting the release of natural painkillers such as endorphins and serotonin. It can also enhance blood circulation and reduce inflammation. Additionally, acupuncture can activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms by prompting the release of certain chemicals and hormones.

What are the benefits of acupuncture?

  • Pain Relief: Acupuncture is highly useful in alleviating various types of pain, including chronic back pain, arthritis, migraines, and menstrual cramps.
  • Stress Reduction: Acupuncture can calm the mind and lower stress levels, which is beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, or insomnia.
  • Improved Digestive Health: Acupuncture can aid in treating digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, and constipation.
