Contemporary Medical Acupuncture
Dr. David Salanki studied acupuncture extensively both in China and North America. He is currently a Senior Clinical Instructor with the Comtemporary Medical Acupuncture Program for Health Professionals at McMaster University. He has successfully treated athletes with sports injuries to people suffering from various forms of chronic pain.
The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of muscular and neurological conditions, digestive, respiratory, urinary, menstrual and reproductive organs. Other benefits include restoring function to the musculoskeletal system, increasing blood flow to specific areas of the body, normalizing communication within the nervous system, stress and anxiety relief through neurochemical release among many others.
- Acupuncture promotes healing and improves body function by the insertion of ultra-thin needles in very precise points on the body. Unlike a hypodermic needle that cuts the tissue, these needles simply part the tissue, so it's essentially painless.
- The goals of medical acupuncture treatment are to provide clinical improvement of your condition and symptoms through the activation of the body's natural pain control and healing mechanisms.
- The modern scientific explanation is the needling of the points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals and hormones in the brain, spinal cord and muscles.
- Considerable evidence has found that acupuncture initiates the release of the body's natural pain control chemicals, opioid peptides, which create an analgesic effect. It does not just 'mask' the pain.
