Dr Alaaraji uses different techniques with acupuncture depending on your particular condition.
Acupuncture exert its effects by inserting needles (painlessly) at certain points either locally or away from painful area or both , that action will release your own natural painkiller and relief or improve your symptoms.
The effect of inserting the needles has been proved scientifically to be the release of chemical at the site of needles, spinal cord and the brain level.
The benefits of acupuncture needling is that we are not using external chemicals and provided it is done by medically qualified people it should benefit the majority of people.
These (our) natural chemical when released, will either change the experience of discomfort, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system. The improved biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, and promoting physical & emotional well-being.
While acupuncture is often associated with pain control, in the hands of a well –trained practitioner it has much broader applications.
Acupuncture can be effective as the only treatment used, or as support to other medical treatment forms in many disorders.
