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?
Denver Acupuncture Eastern Myth or Health
The history of acupuncture in the United States is less than 120 years. 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 and were also 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.
We start your treatment with a gentle Asian massage to open the energy in your body and relax your muscles and you. Then using Japanese painless style needling we do acupuncture. After a short time of rest the pins are removed and Asian stone massage is used to balance or close the treatment. The use of oils is part of the treatment in many cases.
We also use Asian and Ayurvedic acupuncture systems to determine your treatment and look at the progression of your health and healing. So our visits our more comprehensive and increase the effectiveness of just doing plain acupuncture and not a complete Oriental Medicine visit.
More Than A Technique
Denver Acupuncture clinic is far more than a technique of inserting tiny thread-like needles along meridians (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 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!
Denver Acupuncture Clinic uses both methods based on discerning the “pattern of disharmony” and treating accordingly. And we use modern acupuncturist which utilizes other modalities such as herbal medicine, Moxibustion, physical exercise, nutrition, meditation, breathing exercises and more.
