Acupuncture in Collingwood is actually a
traditional Chinese practice, where body pain is
healed by penetrating the skin at specific points
of the body with hairlike, solid, metallic
needles and then gently activating it with
specific movements of the practitioner.
4
Since it proved effective in curing issues such
as low back pain, headaches,  nerve pain,
menstrual cramps, fibromyalgia and many other
bodily aches, now it is gaining popularity in the
United States and other western nations as well. 
5
As per studies, it has been established
that acupuncture particularly works best on
chronic pain. It as well deduces the tension and
discomfort that headaches and migrains cause.
6
Acupuncture in Collinwood and as well in other
places, is quite safe, with very minimal
complication rates. However, it is always wise to
try it, only if the acupuncturist is experienced
and licensed.

How Does It Work?
As per the ancient Chinese medicine, good health
is formed with the harmonious equilibrium between
the complementary extremes of yin and yang
from the life force called qi (pronounced as
chi).
8
If there is any sort of inbalance between the
extremes, it gets noticed as sickness. And qi
is said to flow through particular pathways, in
the complete human body.
9
These pathways and energy flows are approachable
via 350 acupuncture points in the body.
10
Now, when fine needles are inserted in
these acupuncture points, the disturbed energy
flow gets back to its balance. 
11
However, there are certain appropiate
combinations and only a trained and experienced
acupuncturist can conduct the process.
12
For different types of pain, there are different
points to be addressed. And only a licensed
expert has knowledge about which acupuncture
points to be reached for which type of ache.
13
The patient will be asked to lie down on their
back, front, or one side, depending on where the
needles are to be inserted.
14
The acupuncturist should use single-use,
disposable, sterile needles. As each needle is
inserted, the patient may feel a very brief
stinging or tingling sensation.
15
After the needle is inserted, there is
occasionally a dull ache at the base of the
needle that then subsides. Acupuncture is usually
relatively painless.
16
Although there is no scientific evidence that
these acupuncture points are actually present in
a human body, numerious studies and cases suggest
that the method does provide fruitful results in
certain health conditions, like chronic pain.
17
According to modern medical science, it is also
beleived that acupuncture is a concept of
neuroscience, in which acupuncture points are
treated as locations where muscles,
18
nerves and connective tissues can be aroused. The
arousal leads to the increase in blood flow,
provoking the activity of the bodys natural
painkillers.
