Acupuncture: How It Works and Key Precautions Explained

Acupuncture is a unique and widely used treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine, but many people suffering from joint and musculoskeletal pain are afraid of the pain from needle insertion, possible side effects, or the risk of bleeding.

The principle of acupuncture is to invigorate the meridians and stimulate acupoints in order to unblock the body’s qi and blood. By ensuring smooth circulation through the meridians and regulating the functions of the internal organs, it allows the body’s tissues and organs to perform their respective roles, maintaining balance and stability.

After acupuncture, you may feel soreness that can last for several hours or even 1 to 2 days.

One of the post-acupuncture taboos is exposing the treated area to unclean water; you should keep the skin clean to avoid infection.

Due to the fact acupuncture enhances blood circulation and enlarges the pores, it is recommended to wait 3 to 4 hours before taking a shower.

Acupuncture: How It Helps Neck and Shoulder Pain?

Acupuncture treatment for neck and shoulder pain is an effective traditional Chinese medicine approach. By stimulating points such as Jiānjǔ (shoulder well), Fengchi (wind pool), Tianding (heavenly summit), and Dazhui (great hammer), it can improve qi and blood circulation, relax muscles, and reduce pain and compression sensations. It can be combined with tui na (massage) to achieve a comprehensive regulatory effect.

However, it should be performed by a professional, qualified acupuncturist to ensure safety and avoid pressing on the restricted area around the carotid arteries, thereby achieving long-lasting relief.

Unblocking meridians: Acupuncture stimulates points to promote local qi and blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and relieve muscle stiffness.

Relieving compression: Improves muscle elasticity and reduces pressure on nerves.

Holistic regulation: Combining acupuncture with tui na (massage), and other therapies yields better results and reduces side effects from Western medications.

Acupuncture Reflections: Gallbladder Meridian and Your Decisiveness

In traditional Chinese medicine, “胆 Gallbladder” is thought to be primarily responsible for decision-making, while “肝 Liver” governs planning and consideration. In short, they relate to the functions of the central nervous system.

The mouth feels bitter, habitual sighing develops, chest and flank pain (around the ribs), dull complexion, headaches, jaw pain, tenderness and swelling in the supraclavicular fossa (the hollow above the clavicle), swelling and tenderness under the armpits, hip joints or lower limbs painful, and discomfort in the toes.

In short, the pains described in the various body parts align with the pathways of the Gallbladder meridian.

Acupuncture for "Frozen Shoulder" (五十肩)

Acupuncture is a common and effective treatment for frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis or shoulder arthritis. It aims to relieve pain, improve joint mobility, and address inflammation.

The treatment is generally painless and can result in pain relief, increased range of motion, and improved shoulder function. Acupuncture is often used alongside physical therapy, exercise, and dietary changes for better results.

Acupuncture is generally safe, with side effects similar to placebo treatments (such as fainting, mild headache, or dizziness) being rare.

In summary, acupuncture provides natural pain management, reduces inflammation, and improves mobility for frozen shoulder patients, making it a valuable part of rehabilitation and recovery.

Acupuncture Principles

Traditional Theory: Illness arises from blockages or imbalances in qi and blood. By inserting needles at acupoints along energy pathways (meridians), acupuncture aims to restore balance and encourage normal function of organs and tissues.

Modern Perspective: Needle insertion stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, which may boost the body’s natural painkillers and increase blood flow. Mechanisms include modulation of nervous system activity and release of neurotransmitters, helping to reduce pain and inflammation.

Acupuncture is not advised for people with skin infections at the intended insertion sites, certain acute illnesses, or for some abdominal or back locations during pregnancy.

Possible side effects include dizziness, pain, or light bruising. Seek medical advice if you experience any ongoing discomfort.

Acupuncture Treatment for Spinal Canal Stenosis

Acupuncture is a treatment method that inserts needles into specific meridians and acupoints to regulate the flow of qi and blood in the body. According to the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture treatment can reduce nerve compression and help relieve chronic pain caused by spinal stenosis.

For patients with spinal stenosis, appropriate exercise can help reduce symptoms, improve the stability of the spine and surrounding muscles, and decrease pain. Excessive rest may lead to muscle weakness and actually worsen the condition.

Sciatica Treatment with Acupuncture and Massage

Sciatica in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is categorized as "Bi syndrome".

There are four main TCM treatment principles for this syndrome, typically personalized based on the individual's constitution and symptoms.

Acupuncture or massage on acupoints located on the lower back, and legs can help relieve symptoms.

It is advised to avoid or limit consumption of cold and raw foods (such as watermelon and white radish), since such foods may exacerbate symptoms according to TCM principles.

How Does Acupuncture Treat Arthritis

Acupuncture can relieve pain and improve joint function through "promoting blood circulation and removing stasis" and "unblocking the meridians." Commonly used acupuncture points include Yanglingquan, Yinlingquan, Dubi, and Xuehai.

Improving blood circulation and pain relief:
Acupuncture can unblock local meridians and promote blood circulation around the knee joint, resulting in the effect of invigorating blood flow and relieving pain.

Stabilizing the joint:
Through acupuncture, joint stability can be maintained, which helps slow down the degeneration of joint cartilage.

Acupuncture Can Help Prevent Dementia Early

Memory and learning are primarily governed by the kidneys, as the kidneys are considered the foundation of innate vitality and are responsible for the bones and bone marrow.

As long as you keep training consistently — by engaging in mental activities or exercising regularly — you can develop good memory skills and physical strength, and also help prevent dementia or physical decline. Therefore, to nourish the brain, one must start by tonifying the kidneys.

Normally, you can press the Baihui point on the top of the head, the Tongli point on the Heart meridian in the arm, the Qihai and Guanyuan points in the lower abdomen, as well as the Shenshu and Mingmen points on the lower back.

Acupuncture can Significantly Improve Insomnia and Anxiety

For insomnia and chronic insomnia often accompanied by anxiety and depression, what other solutions are there besides taking medication or counting sheep? Recent studies have confirmed that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture can help improve these conditions—without the side effects commonly associated with sleeping pills.

Acupuncture commonly utilizes acupoints on the Governing Vessel and Heart Meridian to harmonize yin and yang, calm the mind and spirit, thereby improving insomnia.
