How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture involves stimulating specific points on the body using very fine needles. From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points form part of a network traditionally associated with the movement and balance of Qi (energy) throughout the body.

From a modern scientific perspective, researchers continue to investigate how acupuncture may influence the nervous system, pain signaling and other physiological processes.

Depending on the individual situation, Mamouchka may combine acupuncture with moxibustion, infrared heat or electro-acupuncture.

How many treatments will I need?

The number and frequency of acupuncture sessions vary from person to person and depend on the reason for consultation, how long the concern has been present and how the individual responds.

Some people may notice changes after only a few sessions, while longer-standing concerns may require a more gradual approach. Mamouchka will discuss an appropriate schedule with you following your initial assessment.

Benefits:

People explore acupuncture for many different reasons. Some are interested in support for:

• Muscular tension and physical discomfort
• Back, neck and shoulder discomfort, office syndrome, sciatica,  arthritis
• Headaches and migraines
• Stress, relaxation and sleep
• General wellbeing and vitality
• Skin condition, eczema or psoriasis
• Women's wellbeing, menstrual cramps, infertility
• Complementary support alongside conventional healthcare
• Chemotherapy side effects, after a stroke, Alzheimer

Every person's situation is different, and acupuncture is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment when medical care is needed.
