Acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic technique first introduced by the Chinese dynasty. They believe that acupuncture is the key to unfolding the body and mind.
"In this therapy, fine needles are inserted into specific points along the meridians of the body to stimulate hormonal balance. These points can make our body function in sync and treat pain-related areas."
Dr Praveen added, "I choose specific points along these meridians that correspond to the nerve pathways affected by the slipped disc."
Each acupuncture point has a different function in the body, so one must have extensive knowledge and experience to perform this therapy.
"For example, the points that are the focus of treatment for slipped discs are CV9 (Shuifen), CV6 (Qihai), and CV4 (Guanyuan)."
