Denver Acupuncture Eastern Mystery
or Healing Medicine?
Let our Denver Acupuncture clinic tell you more......What is Acupuncture and where did it come from? We may never know though recent research and explorers are finding that the use of tiny needles or pins dates back to over 8,500 years in parts of India and the Middle East. Could there be an ancient medical science long forgotten. . . or just hidden?
The history of acupuncture in the United States is less than 120 years. Our Littleton acupuncture office will explain that when European Aristocrats brought with them their medicinal 
assistants or acupuncturists home the world learned about Oriental Medicine and acupuncture. Yet we know that in the railroad camps of Chinese Laborers acupuncture flourished for relief from pain though history books speak little of this.
There is even evidence that Viking travels may have introduced the use of fine bones as needles at certain points just beneath the skin to heal injury or help with disease were used by Native Americans over a thousand years ago. So what really is acupuncture? It's a ancient though very advanced form of medicine that uses your natural body's healing power.
We at Denver Acupuncture Clinic have discovered this ancient history and use it to help you heal faster.
Why Is Acupuncture Unique At Denver Acupuncture - Accent On Health?
While many places may call their treatment acupuncture or even Denver Acupuncture our treatment is unique and based on a very old and effective system.
Denver Acupuncture clinic is far more than a technique of inserting tiny thread-like needles along meridian (energy channels of the body). Acupuncture points maps are used in a complex system of diagnosis that views the person as a whole. These points connect with every organ, tissue, nerves, and the brain to create a needed response to help the body heal or relieve pain.
Ancient Chinese Medical practice of acupuncture dates back about 5,000 years and likely were introduced to it through travels to India where Vedic or Ayurvedic script and Egyptian writings show a very sophisticated health system as from back as 8,000 B.C. E. These writings indicate that the use of fine needles to cure disease, stop pain, and heal even the most sick were in use in the middle east long before the far east. The art of cupping for instance came from Greece. It's the simple treatment of using warm glass cups upon the skin to release toxins, relax stress and tension in muscles and much more including stopping the common cold!
Acupuncture is practiced based on discerning the "pattern of disharmony" and treating accordingly. Modern acupuncturist utilizes other modalities such as herbal medicine, Moxibustion, physical exercise, nutrition, meditation, breathing exercises and more. We practice complete acupuncture in Littleton office teaching you this very way.
How Do You Do Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of hair-fine needles into the skin and body tissues. They are inserted into any one or more of a number of acupuncture points (there are over 1,000 acupuncture points in the human body) for the purpose of stimulating a physiological or 'energetic response. The response solicited by the acupuncture point treatment is focused on balancing the body's systems which will in turn aid the body in functioning properly. Acupuncture does not hurt, The sensation created by the insertion of each needle should only be one of heaviness or tingling. Often this sensation feels pleasant and may be felt over regions of the body which are connected to each other by what we refer to as Meridians. These are the "roadways" through which your body's energy flows.
Acupuncture is a primary health care modality that has been around for at least 6000 years and is used widely throughout the world. In 2005 another ice-man was found in a remote waste with acupuncture points tattooed on his body. He is estimated to be over 10,000 years old. We offer Denver acupuncture and Littleton acupuncture treatment in this style and many other styles of Chinese Medicine.
There are very old papayas paper references to acupuncture in the year 8,500 BCE in Northern India as well. This all suggests that Acupuncture was once more wide-spread and perhaps originated somewhere else than Asia. 90% of Acupuncture today is descended of Asia however. Debra combines the many Asian acupuncture styles with Aroma puncture from India and Egypt.
Denver Acupuncture at Accent On Health means complete acupuncture treatment incorporating Asian Massage, painless style acupuncture and relaxing hot stone massage in your visit. There is nothing like it and it can only be found uniquely at our Denver Acupuncture Clinics since we patented the technique.
Acupuncture is considered safe and effective.
Our Denver Acupuncture Clinic will use the best and most effective methods of acupuncture and Oriental medicine therapy available like cupping or Asian hot stone treatment.
The art of cupping is found in ancient Greek texts and still used in Greece today. Though it is part of Oriental Medicine there is evidence it is of Grecian descent. It involves placing warmed glass globes on the skin creating a mild suction. An herbal oil is placed first on the skin so that you can 'slide' the cups to provide a deep massage much like Native American Stone Massage. There are other cupping methods as well.
Traction, Tunia, and Guisha, are often compared to trigger point massage though it is much different. Specific acupuncture points are gently stimulated in a certain direction to re-direct the flow of 'energy' in a meridian. This deep yet gentle technique may also use traction as you lengthen and shorten the muscle to gain your desired results. Denver Acupuncture Clinic offers the most advanced and painless style of acupuncture treatment found today.
