Is bleeding normal in acupuncture?
No, acupuncture does not cause you to bleed.
In some cases though, depending on what part of the body was treated, a small speck of blood may appear after the acupuncturist removes the needle, but which is quickly wiped away with a swab of alcohol cloth by the acupuncturist. This usually is a good sign however, meaning that whichever meridian the needle was interacting with was overly stressed and needed to be relived of pressure.
Source: I went in for acupuncture a few times times for relieving a chronic headache I had at the time, and the only place that had a tiny bit of bleeding was the "third eye," the location between your eyes and above your nose, but actually that needle was the best feeling out of all of them for me and by the time I got home my headache was completely gone and I was in a very nice state of relaxation. I slept great that night and the headache never returned after 3 treatments.
In short: don't worry about discomfort of bleeding, because if there is any it will be minor, and just let the practitioner do their thing and try to relax. It will be a great experience and while I have no idea how acupuncture works, I know that it's effective and that's all the counts!
How do you paralyze some one with pressuer points?
Pinch them -Hard!- On the side of their neck. They will black out for at least 10 minutes.
ANSIt works for Spock on Star Trek but, short of making a person pass out from the pain, there is not a pressure point that will make a person faint. If you go around pinching people on the neck you'll likely run into legal problems.Applying pressure to the carotid arteries in the neck to restrict blood flow to the brain will obviously cause a person to black out but the act is generally given the term "strangulation" and performing it is usually considered "attempted murder". Jack Bauer can get away with it but you'll probably spend a long time in striped daylight.
Another name, but exactly the same modality, is Shiatsu.

What is the mechanism of acupuncture?
Human history is rich and mysterious. In The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a Chinese work that dates back to 100 BCE, the emperor and his minister Chhi Po were having a conversation about acupuncture. The emperor tediously questions the minister about the different techniques involving needles and control of the life energy chi, and the minister patiently answers these questions on the basis of the healing traditions that were passed down to him by his ancestors. This magnificent book marks the first mention of the now popular Chinese method, Acupuncture.
Acupuncture is aptly named: Acu meaning needle and puncturemeaning piercing. Like all systems of ancient medicine, acupuncture deals with the belief that the energy in a being is concentrated at specific points- called acupuncture points. This system is also very similar to the chakra system, which also deals with specific chakras or energy rich regions in the body.
But acupuncture is startlingly unique even among other alternative medicine bodies. For starters, it involves a precious understanding of both modern medicine and holistic healing. To be able to predict the areas of imbalance in the body and accurately target those areas with needles- this requires knowledge and extensive practice. Another feat that acupuncture has triumphed in is that it has gained remarkable admiration from the western science community. It has been acknowledged as a full fledged academic course in many universities across the world.
The biggest strength of acupuncture lies in two things: the evolution of acupuncture over the ages, and the intense research done on the acupuncture points and energy balance methods.
Can acupuncture or chiropractors help your migraine headaches?
ANSWER
Yes. Acupuncture has been shown to greatly relieve migraines and their symptoms. Acupuncture needles are often painless and treatments are very relaxing. Chinese herbs, prescribed by experienced practitioners of Chinese Medicine, can also be very beneficial in reducing and/or eliminating migraines. Because Chinese Medicine seeks to treat the root of an illness, not just to mask symptoms and discomfort, the variety of causes contributing to migraine headaches will be addressed by your acupuncturist.
Chiropractors are excellent at treating headaches by adjusting your spine. Seeing that the spinal cord is the entire length of your back, tailbone to skull, one tiny subluxation can disrupt something (blood flow, nerves) giving you headaches. I also recommend it because my mother and I both had similar problems which a chiropractor had fixed. My mother sees one about twice a year now, and I haven't seen one since I was a teenager.
