Acupuncture is a collective term for needling methods and moxibustion. During an acupuncture treatment, needles are used to stimulate specific acupoints to achieve therapeutic effects.
Acupuncture treatment regulates the body’s Qi (vital energy), strengthens one’s immunity, and unblocks the meridian system. World Health Organisation (WHO) also recognises acupuncture’s therapeutic effects for 63 widely varying conditions, such as pain syndromes, stroke, hypertension and rheumatic diseases.
At Ma Kuang, we provide good acupuncture services in Malaysia. We use sterile, single-use, disposable acupuncture needles during the acupuncture treatment. You may experience slight discomfort upon insertion when the needle pierces through the skin; however, most people find it very tolerable. As the needle reaches acupoint, you may notice achiness, tingling, fullness, and heaviness, which are referred to as “needling sensations”. The duration of the acupuncture treatment varies greatly from person to person. It can last anywhere from a few seconds to a day, and still be considered normal.
Side effects of acupuncture treatment are rare. Occasionally, local petechiae (minor subcutaneous bleeding) and local allergic reaction occur at site of needling. Subcutaneous bleeding can present as small bruise, which generally doesn’t require medical attention. Needle marks, small red dots or blotches usually subside spontaneously as well. Fatigue, achiness and fullness are normal responses to acupuncture treatment and usually only last for a day or two. If symptoms of needle fainting (vasodepressor syncope of reflex fainting during acupuncture therapy) occur during the session, please speak to your acupuncture physician in Malaysia.
Acupuncture treatment should be postponed or rescheduled under circumstances such as postprandial period, severe fatigue and excessive sweating. People with critical illness, severe heart disease, severe hypertension and pregnancy women should be cautious when considering acupuncture. Please consult your physician for advice.
