Traditional Chinese Medicine and Burnaby Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dates back over 2,000 years and is one of the oldest medical systems still in use today.
Good health is achieved when the body’s energy flows smoothly. However, when this energy flow is blocked or disrupted, it can lead to pain or illness.


Burnaby Acupuncture Is One Popular Method Used to Restore Smooth Energy Flow and Promote Healing
The practice involves the insertion of sterile, single-use, hair-thin needles into specific points on the body which are connected to the affected channels or meridians.
This painless stimulation helps to release the blockage and restore normal energy flow. Although acupuncture is often used to relieve pain, it can also be used to treat a wide range of other conditions such as migraines, anxiety, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal issues, etc.

Patients often report feeling more relaxed and refreshed after each session and many find that their symptoms are greatly reduced.

Burnaby Acupuncture Has Been Proven Effective for Physical and Emotional Healing, But How Does It Work?
Preclinical studies have demonstrated the effect of acupuncture. According to the National Institute of Health, acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to release chemicals such as hormones causing biochemical changes that help regulate the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being. While modern science is still trying to unravel the mysteries of this ancient practice – its effects on improving health cannot be denied!
Scientists Have Found that Acupuncture Works in Three Major Ways and It Is in This Way that It Can Treat Many Different Conditions:
1.) As analgesia, 2.) As a regulator of the physiological system, and 3.) As an enhancer of the immune system. Studies have shown that acupuncture can increase the release of endorphins (the body’s natural pain killers), and therefore increases the body’s threshold for pain perception. As a result, acupuncture is used for the treatment of acute and chronic pain without the use of drugs or surgery. For example, in the treatment of menstrual cramps stimulating an acupuncture point called “Spleen 6” will relieve the pain.
What Makes Burnaby Acupuncture a Natural Treatment for Stress, Depression, Anxiety, and Insomnia?
Often times, patients will feel a sense of euphoria and overall sense of calmness and wellbeing following an acupuncture treatment due to the effect of acupuncture on increasing serotonin which allows patient to feel rested, relaxed, and happy. Acupuncture also helps to manage inflammatory conditions by increasing local circulation in areas where circulation may be low or blocked due to injury, scar tissue or muscle tension (e.g. a frozen shoulder).

Burnaby Acupuncture Isn’t Just Good for Pain Relief, It Can Also Be Used to Help Regulate the Immune System!
It helps support the immune system by stimulating natural killer cells, T-cells, and white blood cells. Therefore, it increases the strength of the human body to resist diseases. Puncturing certain points have shown to improve the white cells count after three days of treatment in immune deficient patients. Also stimulating certain points can boost the immunoglobulin level in healthy individuals. Burnaby Acupuncture also helps to reduce the level of antibodies in certain diseases where immune system is overactive.
Need Help with a Respiratory Illness? Burnaby Acupuncture Might Be the Answer!
Acupuncture can alter respiratory movements and therefore can help with respiratory diseases. It does this by regulating the capacity of gas exchange, and rate of exhalation of the oxygen, as well as the contraction and secretion actions of the air ways. Burnaby Acupuncture can also regulate heart rate and blood pressure. It can be beneficial for those with rapid heart rate and poor peripheral circulation. Acupuncture is therefore beneficial for patients with early-phase hypertension and varicose veins.
