Best Acupuncture Treatments near me in Therdonne, Beauvais

Most people experience minimal discomfort during acupuncture. The needles are very fine, much thinner than injection needles: and many people feel a dull ache or tingling sensation at insertion points, followed by deep relaxation during the session.

Try to bring a list of all your current medications, supplements and ailments to your session to help inform the practitioner of your overall health before they treat you. It’s advisable to avoid coffee (a stimulant) and eating at least 2 hours before your appointment as doing so may reduce the effect of acupuncture on your body.

Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that uses fine needles to treat a range of physical and mental conditions. According to practitioners, energy (qi) travels through interconnecting pathways (meridians) in the body and causes health issues when they become blocked; blockages are cleared by inserting acupuncture needles at specific points in the skin, restoring energy flow and improving health.

Acupuncture is commonly used for chronic pain, migraines and headaches, anxiety and stress, fertility support, digestive disorders, insomnia, and sports injuries. A qualified practitioner will assess your individual needs and tailor treatment accordingly.

Side effects are rare, but may include pain, bleeding or bruising where the needles have punctured the skin, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.

The frequency of treatments depends on the complaint(s) you are treating, so you should ask your practitioner for their specific advice. Some people have acupuncture once a month to help maintain their overall health.
