If, like me, have a great fear of needles and injections, then acupuncture, the practice of putting needles in different parts of your body to cure diseases may seem complicated at first.
However, if you have long been suffering from some problems such as headaches or chronic pains and regular visits to the doctor does not seem to be helping, then why not consider a trip to an acupuncture specialist? After all, who has not heard of someone's aunt somewhere who suffer from arthritis and sample everything the doctors recommended it was all in vain, to be finally cured by a really good acupuncturist?
Perhaps you are wondering whether they might work for you. You may feel a bit skeptical because of traditional Chinese medicine does not immediately agree with the theories of modern Western medicine. In fact, the use of needles to heal people was discovered in China thousands of years long before microscopes or X-ray machines were invented, or before the bacteria and microbes were discovered.

What normally happens when you go to an acupuncturist?
When you go to an acupuncturist, you typically first be asked about your medical history, and how do you feel any symptoms of illness you may have. The examiner observed features of his face, including their language. According to experts, the tongue is a good indicator of the health of your internal organs.

Based on what the acupuncturist learns of his illness, he or she will then make the treatment your body needs. Chinese traditional medicine, diseases are viewed as a kind of imbalance and loss of harmony between the organs of his body. You may consider the use of needles in your body only as a way to push your body and its organs back into balance.
The specialist would begin inserting very fine needles into the right places in your body. For many people, the insertion of these needles do not really hurt. After all, the needles of an acupuncturist usually are much thinner than needles used for injections. Many have argued that the insertion of these needles were actually calms and relaxes them.
How to use these needles help?
A lot of problems have been claimed to have been relieved through the practice. These include headaches, common cold, arthritis, back pain, asthma and even infertility.
Although acupuncture is not part of Western medicine, the experts of western medicine have been studied extensively. Some theories for why acupuncture works may involve the brain stimulate the release of the body's natural painkillers. Acupuncture may also stimulate proper circulation in the human body.
Western medicine is still studying acupuncture and trying to figure out how best to integrate Western medicine practices. Therefore, together with western medicine and doctor visits, insurance may try acupuncture.
Could not hurt and may actually be the one that finally frees you from a lot of body aches and pains and even make you healthier.
