Getting Acupuncture

So, what's it really like when you get acupuncture? The acupuncture practitioner finds the pressure points corresponding to head pain. Every type of pain corresponds to a different area of the body, and for headaches, these points are in the neck and head.

At the right points, very thin needles are administered to the patient's skin. The needles are so small and thin that you shouldn't feel much. When the needles are in place, the practitioner will activate them using various methods. Sometimes, they need to have electrical stimulation applied to them. Sometimes, they are activated with hand motions. 

How Does It Work?

There are two schools of thought about acupuncture. The ancient explanation is that the body is full of pathways. A person's life energy flows along these pathways, but they can develop blockages. When this happens, the needles are used at the points in the pathways that will unblock these areas so that the life energy will flow well again. It's also known that when a patient gets acupuncture, it encourages the body to make pain-relieving chemicals that are all-natural and highly effective at pain relief. 

Many people with chronic pain get regular acupuncture treatments to help them with their pain. If you have headaches often, multiple sessions of acupuncture might be right for you. Talk to your practitioner about how many sessions you need for your specific pain.
