No acupuncture is not painful-the needles are very small! However, Winter Park Chiropractic also offers laser acupuncture which does not involve needles! Acupuncture is a 5,000 year old Chinese system of natural healing (No drugs… No surgery), which is concerned with restoring proper energy flow to the various organs, glands and tissues of the body on the premise that most diseases are the result of malfunction due to disrupted energies. Acupuncture works through the following ways; First, related skin points are determined. Then they are appropriately treated by one of over thirty methods of stimulation some of which are: 1) Long needle insertion (especially done in acupuncture anesthesia for surgery); 2) Short needle penetration; 3) Non-piercing needles; 4) Finger tip pressure (called shishin or “finger needles”); 5) Metallic balls taped to the points; 6) Electrical stimulation; 7) Moxabustion (the burning of herbs over the points).
Note: The non-piercing needed (teishin) is very popular because the technique is practically painless, there is no blood, no danger of infection, and results are equal to, if not better than other techniques. Dr. Anthony Filardo has completed his second fellowship in medical Acupuncture. Along with his doctorate, he has completed over 250 Acupuncture hours and over 500 clinical cases of Acupuncture through 2008. He owns Winter Park Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center at 606 N Wymore Rd. Winter Park Fl.
