WHY DO ACUPUNCTURE 

About Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a means of adjusting the body’s energy (Qi) through the insertion of fine needles into carefully selected acupuncture points. These points lie on energy channels (meridians), and are directly related to specific organs and physiological functions. The needles stimulate the flow of energy and removes blockages so that the Qi can be dispersed and regulated. When the Qi is flowing properly throughout the body, the balance is restored and results include deep relaxation, pain relief, and healing.

Acupuncture is commonly used for pain relief (lower back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, tennis elbow), menstrual cramps, respiratory complaints, headaches (including tension headaches and migraines) and overall wellness including stress management.

I have been suffering from painful periods since the birth of my baby 2 years ago. On a friend’s recommendation I went to see Orla and after a few sessions, my periods became more regular and I no longer had painful periods. I highly recommend this treatment for painful periods. Maeve

Benefits

 

BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE

Pain Relief

Acupuncture benefits us by stimulating the body’s nerve pathways, helping signals to reach the brain and activate self-healing and enkephalin release. The effect can be immediate, and repeat sessions can enhance and strengthen natural pain relief, re-establishing neurological homeostasis.

Painful and irregular periods

Acupuncture can regulate blood flow through the abdominal cavity and relax the nervous system, which can help calm muscular contractions.

Headaches

Acupuncture can be very effective at alleviating headaches (migraines, tension headaches) by finding and treating the root cause of the headaches.

Respiratory conditions

Acupuncture reduces inflammation, by promoting the release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors providing the best relief for respiratory problems

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Content of a session

In the room you will hear soothing peaceful music, relaxing aromas in the air, a safe and comfortable space. We will then have a consultation to discuss your symptoms and treatment.

Acupuncture points are situated in all areas of the body. Sometimes the appropriate points are far removed from the area of your pain. I will tell you the general site of the planned treatment and whether you need to remove any clothing. A gown, towel or sheet will be provided.

You lie on massage table for the treatment, which involves insertion of acupuncture needles to various depths at strategic points on your body. The needles are very thin, so insertion usually causes little discomfort. People often don't feel them inserted at all. A typical treatment uses 5 to 20 needles.

Length of Therapy: 60 mins
