Can acupuncture assist you? The Chinese have an understanding of energy moving through the body in the alike way blood moves through the body. Blood is everywhere but moves around the body in major pathways which are the arteries and veins. There are 12 major meridians in the body and each one relates to a diverse inner organ, so there is a stomach meridian, a heart meridian etc. When you rouse these points using acupuncture needles, it changes the quantity or quality of the energy moving through the meridian and therefore affects the function of the organ associated with that meridian. Acupuncture aims to improve the health of the body by restoring a well flow of energy and blood throughout the body. If there is an emotion which, for some reason, is being suppressed, the energy flow along the meridian associated with that emotion will be constrained, often leading to a tightening of the muscles in that area. So, if we are extremely frustrated (frustration being a tender form of anger) in a special situation, the energy and the muscles often block in the neck or the buttocks which is why we have the expression of something being a pain in the neck or a pain in the bum because this emotional tightening can literally bear pain in these areas. Acupuncture releases such energy blocks, allowing the muscles to relax and the emotion to be processed. Treatments are individually tailored to your specific needs. At Central Coast Body Mechanics, we frequently use a combination of remedial massage, acupuncture and stretching an integrative approach we have found to be the most effective way to treat injuries and pain. In our bodywork treatments, stretching is used in conjunction with massage and acupuncture. This allows clients to construct on the treatment done at the clinic and gives them the tools to manage their condition more effectively.
