Under normal circumstances, our body is in a state of smooth transportation of Qi and blood in meridian, with the great coordination of the balance of Yin and Yang in internal organs.
Because of the irregular hours of work, poor diet, lack of exercises, injury, we often caught wind-cold damp pathogen that resulting in meridian stagnation, impeded circulation of blood, malfunction of the organs and imbalance of Yin and Yang. After a longer period of time without taking care of it, our body will have soreness, numbness, pain etc.
Acupuncture can dispel rheumatism through removing wind and dampness. Besides that, acupuncture also stimulate circulation to end stasis, clearing and activating the meridian channels. As a result of that, acupuncture removes the pain successfully.
However, a reasonable acupuncture program is the key to ensuring efficacy and increasing success rate in pain management. In our country, many people have myth about their muscle pain can be taken away by acupuncture in 1 - 2 sessions.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding. In an acupuncturist point of view, term and condition apply!
A patient used to tell me a story about how a Chinese medicine doctor from China perform a total of 30 sessions of acupuncture in a month to heal his low back pain. What deserves my attention is the "treatment program". With the adequate "loading effect" over a long period of treatment time, this patient's lower back pain is 100% cured by acupuncture, this mean he do not have to suffer from chronic pain anymore. Just imagine, one month acupuncture treament put a full stop to a pain that bothering him for more than 10 years.
However, another patient who was also suffer from low back pain, he wasn't lucky enough and the situation is very different here. Without understanding of the important of an acupuncture program, he simply stop the treament after a few sessions, he thought his pain is gone forever and there is no neccesary to continue the treament. But after a while, the pain come back again and again, it seem like nothing going to work for them anymore. Sad to say that, they had been kidnapped by their own perception, they do not follow the program strictly, that's why acupuncture doesn't seem to suit rash person's pace.
In fact, the cost of completing an acupuncture treatment is far cheaper than private hospital treatment or physiotherapy (I mean in most developing asia country) . In short, acupuncture is a magical ancient therapy, it regulate the flow of Qi and blood, fix the issues such as numbness, weakness and paralyzed limbs which caused by malnutrition of the tendons and meridian channels.
In my opinion, acupuncture is not something that make people remeber when in needs for Stroke sequelae. I think people should view acupuncture as an ordinary well being therapy for managing illnesses, or even for anti-aging, destress or cosmetic need etc. Everyone can come for an acupuncture session even they look fine and healthy.
