YOUR HEALTH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Acupuncture takes a holistic, or whole-body approach to health.\u00a0 This means your practitioner will take into account your whole self, not just your symptoms, in order to get to the root of your health concerns.\u00a0 We will work together to find out how factors like your lifestyle, emotional and mental well-being may be affecting your health.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the chance to really discuss your health concerns with your healthcare provider &#8211; and having your provider really listen &#8211; may be new to you.\u00a0 Think of it as your opportunity to form a partnership for better health.\u00a0 The more you take part in your healing process, the more successful it will be!<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT IS QI?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the core of this ancient medicine is the philosophy that Qi (pronounced &#8220;chee&#8221;), or the body&#8217;s vital source of energy, flows throughout the body.\u00a0 Qi helps to move and animate the body and protect it from illness, pain and disease.\u00a0 A person&#8217;s health is influenced by the quality, quantity and balance of their Qi.<\/p>\n<p>Qi circulates through specific pathways called meridians or acupuncture channels.\u00a0 There are 14 main channels throughout the body and each is connected to specific organs and glands.\u00a0 Their job is to transport Qi throughout the body to nourish every cell, organ, gland tissue, bone and muscle.<\/p>\n<p>When the free-flow of Qi is disrupted, that is when the body will feel pain and become diseased.\u00a0 The goal of acupuncture is to restore any imbalances of Qi to allow the body to return to a pain-free and balanced state of health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IS ACUPUNCTURE SAFE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes!\u00a0 When performed by a completely trained and licensed acupuncturist, acupuncture is extremely safe.\u00a0 It is an all-natural, drug-free therapy, yielding no side-effects.\u00a0 There is very little danger of infection from the acupuncture needles because they are individually packaged, sterile, used once and then discarded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOES IT HURT?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Acupuncture needles are typically not much thicker than a single hair, and their insertion is practically painless.\u00a0 It is nothing like receiving an ordinary injection, or even like getting your blood drawn.\u00a0 In some cases, you will not even know the needles are in place.\u00a0 If anything, you may experience a very slight prick when the needle is inserted.\u00a0 But not to worry &#8211; if you&#8217;re nervous, your acupuncturist will be happy to address any questions or concerns before your treatment begins.\u00a0 Most people find acupuncture extremely relaxing and often fall asleep during their treatment!<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The number of treatments will vary from person to person.\u00a0 Some people experience immediate relief; others may take a few days or weeks to achieve optimum results.\u00a0 Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute ones.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment frequently depends on a variety of factors: your body&#8217;s constitution, the severity and duration of the problem, and the quality and quantity of your body&#8217;s Qi.\u00a0 Your acupuncturist may suggest one or two treatments per week, monthly visits for health maintenance, or occasional treatments for &#8220;tune-ups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eastauroraacupuncture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Visit East Aurora Acupuncture on Facebook!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/?page_id=9\">About Your Acupuncturist<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/?page_id=59\">Location and Hours<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/?page_id=38\">Does Acupuncture Work?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/?page_id=99\">Acupuncture for Anxiety<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/?page_id=16\">Rates<\/a><\/p>\n<p>East Aurora Acupuncture, 502 Main Street, East Aurora, NY 14052\u00a0 (716) 714-5837<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/May-23-community-acupuncture-IG-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/May-23-community-acupuncture-IG-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/May-23-community-acupuncture-IG-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/May-23-community-acupuncture-IG-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/May-23-community-acupuncture-IG-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eaacupuncture.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/May-23-community-acupuncture-IG.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 We are excited to announce that we will start offering a collaboration of Community Acupuncture and Sound Healing with Carrie Evans of HUM Yoga &amp;
