Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese art that utilizes the body's natural energy flow (called Qi) in order to promote physical as well as spiritual health. This energy flows through the body through channels called meridians. When the body's meridians are clear there is a feeling of well-being and health, but when a person's meridians are blocked it can lead to physical discomfort and complications. An acupuncture physician helps a person unblock their meridians and feel an overall sense of well-being. An acupuncture physician inserts needles into a person's body in order to unblock the meridians. Acupuncture is essentially painless, although patients may feel a bit of an initial sting when the needles are first inserted. Sessions usually last 20-30 minutes or however long the acupuncturist decides to remain inside of the patient's body. The practice of acupuncture has been met with a degree of resistance as its actual concrete medical benefits are rather lacking. Western medical science believes that the ancient Chinese practice works not because it unblocks a person's energy, but because it stimulates the body's nervous system. When the needles are inserted they hit certain nerves and release certain chemicals in the brain, chemicals which can block pain. Either way, the benefits of acupuncture are clearly evident. There are two kinds of acupuncture physicians: medical acupuncturists and licensed acupuncturists. A medical acupuncturist is a physician that is also certified to practice acupuncture as well as medicine while a licensed acupuncturist is a person certified to practiced acupuncture. Usually a licensed acupuncture physician devotes more time and energy to truly understanding the art of acupuncture. They usually are more highly educated about traditional Chinese medicine than medical acupuncturists who have traditional medical training along with a bit of knowledge about acupuncture. One isn't more qualified than the other. Medical acupuncturists have knowledge of the body as well as knowledge about meridians while licensed acupuncturists have more knowledge about energy and meridians, but might lack certain know-how about the physical body. If you are interested in the field of acupuncture educate yourself about the best schools, job demands, opportunities, and the future of this exciting and spiritual field.
