Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)   seeks emotional, mental and physical balance. If there is no harmony with the environment, an imbalance occurs that generates diseases. It considers something as a whole; there are no diseases, but sick people, and treats the person in a personalized way. Although it is more than 3000 years old, it was in the last century when it entered Western medicine, which was modified to give it a more scientific character.  

 There is already a large amount of scientific literature, in which scientific evidence is expressed regarding its efficacy and clinical effectiveness, both in randomized controlled studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and network meta-analyses. 

For the diagnosis of diseases, this method uses specialized devices that measure the energy of the organs. The patient’s face is also observed, and the temperature and pulse are taken. 

Take into account emotions, as they are the cause of internal imbalances. Anger, sadness, tiredness, fatigue, resentment, fears and anxieties are what cause the body to feel sick. 

Among the most used techniques are:

Illness is considered an energetic imbalance of the organism, caused by external factors (cold, heat, humidity, viruses, bacteria, etc.), by internal factors (malfunction of an organ, blood insufficiency, emotional disturbances, etc.). 

Energy flows constantly as it passes through these channels, keeping the tissues healthy and providing vitality to the organs so that they function properly. These channels must always be kept clear, as any obstruction will cause the interruption of this flow in the body, causing physical and psychological disorders. 

By inserting and manipulating fine needles in specific points of the body, we can harmonize the body’s functions and restore energy balance, thus recovering health. 

How does acupuncture work? 

It has effects on the nervous system, stimulating the activity of analgesic substances (such as endorphins and immune system cells). When the needle is inserted into certain points, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters and hormones that act on the physiological functions of our body. 

Is acupuncture treatment painful? 

Although it is practically painless, the insertion of the needle will produce a sensation that can range from a simple tickling sensation to a slight cramp, with the sting being almost imperceptible. Afterwards, you will often notice a feeling of calm and well-being. 

Some of the most common physiological effects you can observe after an acupuncture session are  pain relief, improved blood circulation, reduced inflammation, decreased muscle spasms, increased vital energy… 

The effects from the first session are usually positive. Acupuncture eliminates blockages in your body system, restoring balance to your body and a better quality of life. 

They are designed with different capacities, as they have the ability to discover the meridians and acupuncture points to cause stimulation. They use a direct current that acts on the body’s static electricity and energy channels.

We also combine acupuncture with an electrostimulation device, giving rise to electroacupuncture, which consists of applying therapeutic electric current to acupuncture needles through electrostimulation devices.

As with any therapy, we first carry out an assessment to see if it is a suitable and safe technique for your particular case, as it can cause temporary bruising (such as a “hickey”), swelling or pain. The marks that remain usually disappear after several days.  

If so, we use them in several ways and for different purposes: 

Tui Na goes beyond the muscles, bones and joints, accessing a deeper energetic level.

Tui Na massage is often used in conjunction with other Chinese medicine therapies such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion and cupping.

Due to daily stresses, bad lifestyle habits , which produce blockages in the Qi channels , and alter health, Tui Na is intended to restore your physiological and emotional balance, unblocking the meridians and improving your overall health .
