Best Acupuncturist in Pakistan

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient theruapteic Chinese alternate medicine that involves treatment through thin needles inserted at specific pressure points of the body for relieving pain. Acupuncture treatment is a blend of eaten and western approaches of medicine. Each treatment is unique to your behaviour, lifestyle, and symptoms. It is important to note that acupuncture is pure pseudoscience, as there is no scientific knowledge backed up to its practice. 

Acupuncture is a combination of different practices but all involve the insertion of needles into the skin. A typical session of acupuncture requires the patients to sit still while insertion of 5 to 20 needles is done at very specific parts of your body. The idea behind acupuncture is to balance the ‘energies’ within the body to relieve muscular tension and pain. 

The Technique 

• Skin is sterilized and needles are inserted while being manipulated around the skin surface in various ways. The needle does not penetrate deep, as pain is usually felt in the superficial (uppermost) part of the skin. 

• The de-Qi sensation is felt by the patient. This is a feeling of numbness followed by a dull ache or tingling feeling at the point of needle insertion. 

 Related Practices to Acupuncture

• Acupressure- using physical non-invasive pressure for body pain relief. 

• Cupping therapy- local suction of skin to help regulate lymph and blood flow throughout the body,

• Electroacupuncture- a modern form of acupuncture that gives dull electric pulses through the inserted needles for treatment. 

• Fire needle acupuncture- this involves the insertion of a needle that is quickly burned and then inserted into specific body pressure points. 

• Sonopuncture- this involves sound instead of needles through different tools using ultrasound or tuning forks. 

• Acupuncture point injection- vitamins or herbal extracts are directly injected to specific body pressure points. 

• Tui Na- this is the most passive acupuncture method which does not involve any needle insertion rather physical bare-handed techniques for body pain relief. 

Who is an Acupuncturist?

An acupuncturist is a skilled healthcare practitioner and healer who has had extensive training in acupuncture, by applying traditional Chinese medicine. They care for their patients' illnesses for their physical and mental wellbeing. They have specialized in ancient medicine treatment and use both traditional and modern technology for their acupuncture treatment. An acupuncturist is trained for all age groups, however, they are often consulted by old people. An acupuncturist will have wide knowledge on specialities like gynecology, gastroenterology, sports injury, pain management, oncology, cosmetology, dermatology, and drug addictions. An acupuncturist has to be a registered healthcare professional, or else they will not be able to practice their services.
