5 Acupuncture Myths Debunked

Posted on March 21, 2020April 9, 2021 by admin

5 Acupuncture Myths Debunked

Acupuncture is an old tradition that’s been used for over 2,500 years and is practiced around the world. However, many do not understand the technique and have misconceptions that keep them from trying acupuncture as a way to relieve their stress, pain or tension. If you’re worried about what the practice entails or you have heard disputes about its effectiveness, read on. We’ve debunked five of the most common myths surrounding Chinese acupuncture.

  • Acupuncture Hurts

It’s normal to anticipate some pain when needles are involved. Still, in truth, acupuncture uses needles as thin as a whisker. You may feel a slight prick when the needle enters the skin. Any discomfort will fade or ease as the acupuncturist adjusts the needles. Some of the things you should expect to feel are a throbbing or electrical sensation or a heaviness. This is referred to as a Qi sensation and is the desired response.

  • Acupuncture is Folk Medicine and Isn’t Professionally Recognised

Chinese acupuncture has been around for many centuries – and or a reason. Many health institutes have invested in the practice. Acupuncture is even used by the United States military, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded clinical research trials on the subject. The NIH and World Health Organisation (WHO) both recognise acupuncture as a valid treatment for a range of conditions.

  • Acupuncture Can Conflict with Other Medications and Therapies

There’s no conflict at all between acupuncture and other treatment options. It complements different approaches without interfering, and you can safely try it alongside other treatments.

  • Acupuncture is Only Psychological

Acupuncture is not just a placebo effect. Studies have shown that the process released endorphins in the brain that act as a natural painkiller. Acupuncture also has an anti-inflammatory effect, which helps your immune system. It is true that many find the process relaxing and reassuring, and that acupuncture can ease stress and anxiety.

  • Acupuncture Has Side Effects

There’s no need to worry. Acupuncture has few (if any) side effects, and after a session, you can usually carry on with your day with absolutely no restrictions.
