What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a traditional therapy that involves inserting very thin needles into specific points on the body to promote natural healing and improve overall well-being. It is widely used to relieve pain, reduce stress, and support various health conditions.

Although acupuncture and dry needling may appear similar, they have significant differences.

Origin: Acupuncture started thousands of years ago and is a standard practice under traditional Chinese medicine. Dry needling, on the other hand, is a relatively modern practice within the field of Western medicine, focusing on muscle dysfunction.
Philosophy and Treatment Goals: Acupuncture is based on the concept of balancing energy flow, or “qi,” in the body. Dry needling focuses on alleviating pain by releasing trigger points.
Needle Use: Dry needling targets trigger points directly. Acupuncture, on the other hand, places needles along key points, which may sometimes be in areas unrelated to the source of pain.
Outcomes: Acupuncture aims to achieve overall health and balance and is often used to treat a wide variety of ailments. Dry needling focuses on immediate relief from muscle pain, tension, and dysfunction.

One particular technique in acupuncture is called ashi point needling. It is similar to dry needling as it involves inserting needles into tender or painful spots that may not align with traditional meridian points.

Ashi points are identified by palpation and patient sensitivity. Targeting these areas helps reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

Conditions Treated

Acupuncture therapy is a noninvasive and clinically effective procedure that can help manage numerous conditions.

Body pains such as back pain, neck pain, knee pain, elbow pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia

The Acupuncture Process

Initial Consultation and Personalized Treatment Plan

Your first visit to our acupuncture clinic in Plantation will include an initial consultation, during which our doctor, Dr. Eric Stumpff, will review your medical history and perform a physical exam. Based on this evaluation, he will create a customized treatment plan to achieve the desired outcomes.

Preparation and Sterilization

Before the session starts, we sterilize the treatment area and prepare sterile, single-use needles to make the procedure safe. We take this step seriously to minimize the risk of infections or complications.

Insertion of Needles

Dr. Stumpff will insert needles into the identified ashi points. Your muscles may twitch or feel sore as the needles reach the muscle. This sensation is normal and indicates that the needles are stimulating the ashi point.

Posttreatment Care

After the session, the needles will be carefully removed and disposed of. You will be evaluated for any immediate skin reactions and potential side effects, such as dizziness. There may also be recommended stretches and exercises to minimize post-treatment soreness.
