Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most studied therapies in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Very fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at specific points on the body.
At MeridianHealth, a TCM-trained practitioner delivers it alongside your medical care, so the whole picture gets considered.
In TCM, health is the smooth flow of qi (vital energy), blood, and body fluids through channels called meridians and collaterals. Pain, tension, and many everyday complaints happen when that flow becomes blocked or imbalanced.
In TCM, practitioners select points according to the pattern discussed during your consultation. Many patients use it to help manage pain, stress, sleep, and general recovery, among others.
Most people feel calm and a little sleepy right after, so give yourself a few quiet minutes before heading back into a busy day if you can. A small number notice mild tiredness or slight soreness at the needle sites; this is usually temporary and settles within a day. Many patients use acupuncture as part of an ongoing plan rather than a single visit, and your practitioner can advise on a sensible schedule during your consultation.
The practitioner places the needles, and you rest for around 20–30 minutes before they are removed. Needles are placed gently, and you rest for around 20–30 minutes before they’re removed.
