Acupuncture, Cayman Islands - In medicine, needles are usually associated with pain. But in acupuncture, inserting needles at specific points on the body can actually relieve pain.
A key part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the practice of acupuncture is thousands of years old, although it’s adoption in the west is much more recent.
Acupuncture is based on the belief that we all have a life force – or ‘qi’ – that flows through our bodies. When the qi becomes imbalanced and does not flow, this results in ill health. Inserting very thin needles at key points on the pathways along which qi travels can release blockages and restore harmony.
Acupuncture can effectively treat a long and varied list of conditions, from nausea, insomnia and anxiety to joint pain, high blood pressure and infertility. A number of acupuncturists in Cayman offer treatments both for general wellbeing and to address specific issues.
