Acupuncture
Cayman Rehab Services is currently offering Acupuncture from the Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Western Medical Acupuncture approach.
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture, a key part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is over 3,000 years old and focuses on restoring the smooth flow of vital energy (Qi) in the body. It treats underlying causes of disease by removing blockages and boosting Qi through various techniques, including dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Research shows that acupuncture enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes pain relief. Licensed acupuncturists undergo at least four years of training, covering both conventional medicine and TCM tools like Cupping, GuaSha, Moxibustion, and Nutritional Therapy. Acupuncture can treat a wide range of conditions, from pain and stress to digestive issues, and works well alongside Western medicine.
WESTERN MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE
Western medical acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that adapts traditional Chinese acupuncture using modern knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based medicine. Fine needles are inserted at specific points to address imbalances, with treatments typically lasting 20–30 minutes. Trigger point acupuncture targets muscle pain and tension, facilitating relaxation and aiding rehabilitation. Primarily used by healthcare practitioners, it is effective for musculoskeletal pain, including trigger point pain, as well as postoperative pain and nausea.
