Acupuncture is a treatment method that developed in China 2500 years ago and is still widely used today. This method, which is applied by placing thin needles on certain points of the body, helps to treat health problems by balancing the flow of energy. This energy, called "Qi" in Chinese medicine, is thought to cause various physical and mental disorders when it does not flow in a balanced way. Acupuncture supports the body's natural healing process by balancing this energy.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Pain Management: Acupuncture offers an effective solution for many painful conditions such as migraines, chronic back pain, neck pain and arthritis. The needles stimulate the release of natural pain-relieving hormones in the body, which helps relieve pain.
Reducing Stress and Anxiety: Acupuncture reduces stress and anxiety levels by eliminating energy imbalances. It contributes to the reduction of stress hormones with its relaxing and calming effect on the body.
Improving Sleep Quality: For those who suffer from insomnia, acupuncture can provide a better and deeper sleep. It helps to solve sleep problems by regulating the flow of energy in the body.
Help with Digestive Problems: Acupuncture, which has positive effects on the digestive system, can be used to treat problems such as nausea, bloating and irritable bowel syndrome.
How is Acupuncture Applied?
Acupuncture treatment is usually done in a series of sessions. In each session, very thin and sterile needles are inserted into specific points on the body. These needles stimulate the brain and nervous system, balancing the body's energy. The sessions usually last 20-40 minutes and patients feel relaxed during the treatment. Some patients may experience a slight tingling or warmth sensation, which is an indication that the treatment is effective.
