Best Rated Acupuncture in Encinitas, Poway, and San Diego

Your body has over two thousand acupuncture points that belong to a set of points along pathways or meridians that cover your entire body. Each one of these points has a particular effect on the function of your body and mind. When needles are placed into an acupuncture point, a signal is sent to your spinal cord, brain, organs and other tissues via channels or pathways, (some neural pathways are mimicked). The signal is point specific and creates a different effect on your body and mind when used in combinations with other points. Many physicists are aware of certain frequencies that the body emits. These acupuncture points are said to be highly conductive or reactive points on the body that affect these frequencies. Basically, when a needle is inserted at these points, there is a change in frequency at that area, which sends signals to the brain and other tissues, cells, and structures to create a desired response. Our sports medicine and pain management acupuncture is used to stimulate the healing process and decrease inflammation. Acupuncture can be used to migrate stem cells and growth factors to injured areas, hence, speeding up the healing process. There are many other varied explanations of acupuncture, and more information can be found on www.acupuncture.com.

This is a common question and the answer is no! Although Acupuncture can sometimes create a warming, cooling or dull achy sensation in the body, it is usually not painful. Some people describe the feeling as tingling or slightly numbing. For those with a fear of needles, we do offer needleless acupuncture. This type of acupuncture utilizes a machine that delivers specific frequencies into an acupuncture point. There is no discomfort and most people don’t feel anything while the treatment is performed.

It really depends on what effect the practitioner is trying to achieve and what ailment is being treated. Sometimes the physician touches the needle to the surface of the skin, and other times the needles are inserted to a deeper level.
