What is it and how does it work?

Acupuncture is one of the methods of traditional Chinese medicine., which is also officially recognized in Western medicine and is practiced in many European countries. It is based on inserting needles into acupuncture points on the body, which are located on acupuncture channels (so-called meridians). The fundamental life energy Qi (chi) flows through the network of channel paths.

Laser acupuncture works on the principle of stimulating acupuncture points with a laser beam. It is especially suitable for children and those who are afraid of needles. There are practically no side effects. Stimulation of an individual acupuncture point only lasts from 15 to 30 seconds.

Acupuncture is performed in Slovenian or English.

Acupuncture is most often used for:

  • acute and chronic pain throughout the body (e.g. pain in the lower back, shoulder, elbow, knee, etc.),
  • headaches (migraines, etc.),
  • allergies, hay fever,
  • improving the body's immune system,
  • menopausal problems, hot flashes,
  • facial pain (e.g. trigeminal neuralgia),
  • facial nerve paralysis,
  • help with weight loss (reduce food cravings),
  • help in quitting smoking,
  • aesthetic acupuncture (facial acupuncture),
  • rehabilitation after a stroke (proven to contribute to faster recovery).

How is acupuncture treatment performed?

Treatment depends on the disease picture and the duration of the problem (e.g., to reduce acute, newly occurring pain, a smaller number of therapies are required). On average, a total of 5 to 10 therapies are required, which are performed every 2 to 3 days or at least once a week. Each therapy session lasts from 15 to 30 minutes.

In some cases, the acupuncturist may also choose to stimulate acupuncture points on the ear using sperm, and these patches are left in place for a few days. A variety of body positions are used during acupuncture. The person may sit, lie on their back, side, or stomach.
