Best Acupuncture Treatments near me in Chrzanów

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.

Many people find acupuncture effective in treating complaints as diverse as pain, wrinkles and mental health problems. Formal evidence on its effectiveness, however, isn’t clear.

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.

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.
