Acupuncture is a method of inserting very fine needles in certain designated points along the channels or "meridians" mapped on the body, through which life force or energy flows. There is an unceasing flow of life energy or "Qi" throughout the body.When the energy is smooth and in balance, one is healthy; and if the balance gets disturbed, then one becomes ill or feels pain.  Through acupuncture points the energy flow can be stimulated and function of all organs can be regulated.Acupuncture is generally painless and any discomfort one may feel is usually very mild.  Sterile disposable needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes dependingon individual diagnosis, different physical condition and energy level.
          
Acupuncture Mechanism

            According to biochemical and neurological research, acupuncture  works by  activation of natural pain-suppression system in brain.  Substantial evidence  demonstrates that acupuncture stimulates the release of endogenous morphine called  endorphin, which in turn mediates the analgesic affect.  Acupuncture has an obvious effect of stimulating or strengthening patient's immune system, which in turn mobilizes the natural defense power inside human body.  This reaction is the major  mechanism  of anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious effects induced by  acupuncture.  It's very  interesting  to knowthat this kind of adjustment in biphasic in  nature.  Acupuncture  can  reduce  blood pressure  in  case of  hypertension or  elevate  blood in case of  hypotension.  Also acupuncture is very effective in many  psychosomatic  disorders.  Just like any other

            medicine, not all cases can be cured, but there are no harmful effects from therapy. 
          
How Many Treatments?

            Each treatment plan in individualized and depends on the type of illness, the severity

            of the condition, the duration of the sickness and the physical state of patient at

            time of treatment.  A course of treatment usually takes anywhere between ten to 

            twenty sessions, however chronic cases usually need longer treatments. 

            In order to get best therapeutic results, acute cases should be treated every other 

            day for few sessions, followed by prolonged intervals.
