Rivers Of Energy Flow And How It Relates To Acupuncture Nashville

By Elinor Hain


When you think of going to a chiropractor, you may think of visits where the doctor gently adjustments your back. Chances are good that you do not think of Acupuncture Nashville because many people do not realize chiropractors can provide this service, but they can and do.

Rivers of Energy

The ancient Chinese, and many modern practitioners, believe that there are rivers of energy, or meridians that flow through the body. Meridians follow metaphysical pathways along the body, especially through your limbs. Placing needles in specific points balances or unblocks this flow. In this way, a meridian serves as a river in your body. Qi (pronounced "chee") is the energy that flows through these rivers to every part of the body. Meridians have been mapped by practitioners who believe that the flow of Qi can be used to alleviate pain and other ailments. Meridians exist as pairs with many pressure points along their pathways.

If you are lucky, you will find a chiropractor who offers this as a part of their normal service offerings. If they do, they will likely use more modern equipment, with needles or electrical stimulations that do the same work. Both trigger your accupoints to unblock your Qi and stop the pain that is stopping you. There are more than 300 of these points in the body that may be causing the blockage that is causing you to hurt.

Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care

In an article in the Washington Post, an overview of 29 different clinical trials was published that featured chiropractic patients who experienced serious and often chronic pain. This pain was in shoulders, back, neck, and even included headaches. The patients who received acupuncture as a form of pain relief felt much better overall than those who did not. If you would like to feel better to and alleviate the pain that may be holding you back, just call your doctor for an appointment to get the process started.
