Clinique physiotherapie Cappino Montreal ile Perrot 05 - Acupuncture in Montreal, West-Island and Ile-Perrot

Acupuncture represents a fundamental pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where each treatment session is carefully tailored to the specific needs of the patient during the initial encounter. This age-old practice operates holistically, influencing several crucial systems of the human body, including the central nervous system, the muscular system, the endocrine system, and the immune system.

The essence of acupuncture lies in the stimulation of specific points on the body using fine needles, thereby promoting the regulation of vital energy, or “Qi,” according to TCM principles. This personalized approach aims to restore energy balance, fostering overall well-being.

Action Mechanism of Acupuncture

Several recent scientific developments have allowed us to understand some of the mechanisms explaining the action of acupuncture. Different points can act through either of the following mechanisms:

  • Action on the central nervous system (CNS): Several acupuncture points stimulate specific areas of the brain which allows you to have results and benefits in a large variety of health conditions as stated above.
  • Action on the endocrine system: Certain points generate the secretion of different hormones such as endorphins in the treatment of pain.
  • Action on the muscular system: Other points induce great muscular relaxation via trigger points and muscular knots.

In a context where health care is often inaccessible, acupuncture becomes a solution that deserves to be known. It is a painless therapy in which no belief is required!
