Ancient History

History of Chinese medicine and acupuncture

Acupuncture has a rich 3,000-year-old history as an integral part of a comprehensive medical system. This holistic approach focuses on treating the entire person – mind, body, and spirit – rather than merely addressing the disease and its symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a sophisticated treatment system that includes various modalities to promote healing and wellness. Originating in China, Chinese Medicine employs acupuncture needles alongside oral herbal medicine and topical herbal liniments or salves. Acupuncture has gained significant recognition, particularly in places like Altadena, Arcadia, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, and South Pasadena. In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) affirmed acupuncture’s safety and efficacy for treating a wide range of conditions. Consequently, acupuncture has become a popular choice in these communities, widely known for relieving pain and often covered by many insurance policies.

How does Acupuncture work?

Acupuncture in Altadena enhances the body's functions and facilitates our natural ability to self-heal, akin to healing a cut in the skin. This is achieved by stimulating specific anatomical sites known as acupuncture points or acupoints. The primary method for stimulating these acupoints involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. For those seeking acupuncture in Arcadia or Pasadena, heat or electrical stimulation may be utilized to amplify these effects. Additionally, other techniques for acupoint stimulation include manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments, which are also available in Sierra Madre and South Pasadena.

First, your acupuncturist in Altadena, Arcadia, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, or South Pasadena will ask about your health history. Then, he or she will examine the shape, color, and coating of your tongue, check your pulse, and possibly perform some additional physical examinations tailored to your individual health needs. Using these unique assessment tools, the acupuncturist will recommend an appropriate treatment plan to address your specific condition. To begin the acupuncture treatment, you lay comfortably on a treatment table while precise acupoints are stimulated across various areas of your body. Most people feel little to no discomfort as the fine needles are gently placed. The needles are typically retained for five to 30 minutes, and during and after treatments, individuals often report feeling very relaxed.
