Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Toronto

16 de February de 2022

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the oldest medical systems in the world –about 3,500 years older than Western medicine. It is a standardized form of Chinese medicine that was practiced prior to the Chinese Revolution and is based on various old beliefs. TCM includes a variety of strategies for assisting patients in achieving and maintaining wellness. Of all the strategies, acupuncture is the most commonly used component of TCM that is popular worldwide for its benefits.

Read on to learn more about TCM and acupuncture and where to find the best acupuncture and traditional Chinese in Toronto, Rosedale, Yorkville, Eglinton, and other parts of Ontario.

What Exactly Is Acupuncture & How It Works?

Acupuncture is a supplementary and alternative medical treatment. It is not usually considered a stand-alone treatment, but rather a component of TCM. Despite its origins in China during the Shang Dynasty around 1600-1100 B.C., it has only recently gained popularity in the Western world.

Acupuncture evolved from the discovery that stimulating certain parts of the skin altered the physiologic functioning of the body, restoring health and wellness. It involves placing needles into specific acupuncture sites on the body’s skin, muscles, and subcutaneous tissue.

Why Consider Acupuncture in Toronto

If you’re thinking about trying acupuncture for the first time, you might be intrigued about the techniques. The following are some of the health benefits you may experience if you receive acupuncture treatment:

  • Stress reduction
  • Relief from back and joint pain
  • Pain Relief
  • Improved eye health
  • Improved mental clarity
  • Reduced neurological disorder symptoms
  • Lower risk of being ill
  • Fewer digestive issues
  • Boosted energy
  • Improved sleep
  • Allergy relieving treatment
  • Blood pressure management
  • Improved healing following medical procedures

What to Do If You Have Needle Anxiety

Many people express reservations about acupuncture due to needle anxiety. It is important to understand that acupuncture needles, unlike other types of needles, are solid and hair-thin, and the procedure is minimally invasive. Depending on the type of treatment, they are usually implanted no more than a half-inch to an inch. Message therapy by an RMT or acupressure, which involves applying pressure to key areas with the fingers, may be suitable for patients who are afraid of needles.
