What is Chinese acupuncture & how does it work?

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

At Islington Acupuncture we use fine needles and gentle techniques.

Acupuncture works best when you feel some sensation, but not pain.

People describe it as a slight 'tingling' like a very faint 'electric current' or a 'dull', 'heavy' sensation.

Are acupuncture needles sterile and safe?

Yes, we never reuse a needle.

All our needles are disposable and are discarded after every individual use.

Chinese Vs Western Acupuncture: What's the difference?

Western acupuncture is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture. It uses acupuncture techniques but not the theory. Western acupuncturists are often GPs, nurses and physiotherapists.

BAcC (the British Acupuncture Council) accredited Traditional Acupuncture training courses takes a total of 3600 hours. In comparison some basic Western acupuncture courses are much shorter, e.g. a Western acupuncture foundation course can be completed in just 32 hours.

When you choose a BAcC trained Acupuncturist you are choosing a therapist who has a deep understanding of the practice and theory of Chinese Acupuncture.

What is Acupressure?

Acupressure is a form of massage that targets the 'Acupuncture Points' of the body during the massage.

What is Moxibustion?

Moxa is a herb which has traditionally been used alongaside acupuncture to enhance the effects of treatment. We tend to use smokeless 'Moxa Sticks' in order to minimise the smoke and smell during the clinic treatment session.

What is Chinese Dietary Therapy?

Chinese Dietary Therapy uses the principles of Chinese medicine to identify each client's 'constitutional type' and creates a diet designed for their optimum health and digestion using this information.

Dietary therapy is a continuation of herbal medicine.

Different foods are categorised according to taste, nutrient content and ease of digestion.

Dietary therapy aims to provide a simple diet to suit the metabolism and the nutritional deficiencies of each individual.

Diet sheets and recipes are given to clients in order to help to achieve a healthy change in diet.

Diet therapy is not about 'restriction', but learning to understand the effects of different foods on your body.

The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) have produced this video that helps to explain what acupuncture is and how it can be used.
