Eastern vs. Western Explanation of Acupuncture

There’s a difference in the way Eastern and Western medicine explains how acupuncture works.

The Western viewpoint is that we are electrical beings – our brains and spinal cords are wired with electrical or nerve-based synapses. The nerves are connected by nerve bundles, which are used as acupuncture points.

The bioelectricity that zips through the nerves that wire the body can be modulated (acted upon) by inserting a metal needle (metal conducts electricity) into nerve bundles.

Insertion of an acupuncture needle into a nerve bundle is the equivalent of plugging into an electrical outlet in your home to route electricity to a specific appliance or electronic gadget.

Acupuncture has the ability to reroute bioelectricity to different parts of the body, allowing for modulation of the neuro-electrical system with a metal needle.

The Eastern explanation of acupuncture is that this bioelectricity, called Qi(alternate spelling is chi, pronounced ‘chee’), is the body’s vital energy force. Qi flows along nerve pathways called meridians. In Eastern medicine there are 12 major meridians in the body and 365 acupuncture points (nerve bundles).

By modulating (acting upon) the flow of Qi or energy around the body through the use of metal needles, acupuncturists can help reduce inflammation, block pain, improve organ function, and balance the body’s energy systems.

Of all my cats and Bobby, the one who has benefited the most from acupuncture is Tiger. Tiger was limping badly and the vet suspected it was the Calici virus. I took him to three vets where he was treated but he did not improve at all. Soon, the vet thought of being FIV+, Tiger’s time was running out.

I found out about acupuncture and after just ONE session, Tiger improved tremendously. From limping, he could walk again. Then, run!

Tiger recovered completely after 2 sessions of acupuncture and he had a third session as a bonus.

Tiger’s first acupuncture session in Nov 2009.

Bobby also benefited from acupuncture during his old age. Indy had acupuncture done on him as well when he was mysteriously sick.
