In acupuncture treatment, acupuncture needles are utilized to release trapped Chi.Acupuncture is an ancient treatment derived from China, which stems from the belief that the human body has meridians through which our life force, Chi, travels through.If this flow of Chi through the meridians is blocked, it will cause various diseases, stress and an immune system that is weakened.Thereby acupuncture needles are used to clear the meridian, and in effect release the trapped Chi to restore a balance to the body.

As a result, acupuncture needles can be considered the primary form of treatment, even though massage and oils are often used in treatment. Acupuncture needles does not cause any pain or discomfort for the person undergoing treatment.Initially, one may consider acupuncture needles to be some form of a torture device since the acupuncture needles are inserted into one’s skin. However you will soon come to realize that you feel no pain when the acupuncture needles are inserted and that the treatment is not as scary as it looks.

The comfort of the patient is the main priority when using acupuncture needles.The patient is made to rest in a comfortable position and the acupuncture needles are slowly inserted into the designated area, taking into consideration the patient’s response. Once inserted, the acupuncture needles will be left in place for a time length that can vary from between five to twenty minutes, once again depending on the type of treatment that is taking place.Several conditions such as stress, migraines and body pain can be reduced by the use of acupuncture needles, in addition to strengthening the immune system and curing certain diseases.

When using acupuncture needles, it is important to ensure that the patient’s energy is completely used up.Depending on the age and stamina of the patient, the time and number of acupuncture needles used will also tend to vary and usually the older the patient, the shorter the amount of time the acupuncture needles will be used.

According to the Western explanation about the usage of acupuncture needles, it induces the body to release chemicals and hormones by stimulating the body’s central nervous system.The released chemicals and hormones improve the body’s immune system and also reduces any pain or discomfort the patient may be feeling, by acting as natural stress busters.The use of seirin acupuncture needles, regardless of whether from a Western or Eastern concept, has produces the same result which is the desired change that is sought by the patients.
