Acupuncture Ninja
The Acupuncture Network – a web-based community of acupuncturists – launched their first video on International Creep Like a Ninja Day, 5th December 2006.
Acupuncture Network advises that no patients or ninjas were injured during the making of this video & that, though the magic of modern camerawork hides this, infection control guidelines were followed to the letter. In no way do we condone the use of blowpipes in clinical practice. Kids, please don’t try this at home!

What Is Acupuncture?
Amy Guinther earned her Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine from Meiji College of Oriental Medicine in San Francisco. She is a licensed acupuncturist in California and currently practices in San Rafael. She is also a Diplomate of Acupuncture with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine.
In this segment Amy talks with us about what acupuncture is and how the therapy can help heal the body.
Acupuncture is a medical therapy developed more than 2000 years ago in Asia. The therapy stimulates specific points beneath the skin by the insertion of acupuncture needles. This process restores the balance of the body’s energy, also knows as “Qi”(pronounced chi).
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin made from silver alloy, typically stainless steel. You may feel little or no discomfort as the needles are inserted as the process is typically painless. You may feel different sensations including slight soreness, numbness, warmth, or pressure. These energetic sensations differ from pain. People often comment that the feeling is unfamiliar but pleasant and comforting.
After the first treatment has been administered, depending on the ailment being treated, many experiences may occur. Immediate, total or partial relief from pain or other symptoms may be experienced. Some patients experience a sudden burst of energy while others may feel relaxed. Many people experience a calming satisfaction.
In most situations treatments take between 20 and 30 minutes but can last longer in certain scenarios. The length of the treatment depends on individual conditions of the patient and the skill of the acupuncturist.
Many conditions may be treated and they include, diabetes, general pain relief, control for arthritis, tendonitis and other conditions such as circulatory problems with high or low blood pressure, cold hands and feet. Some nervous system imbalances can also be treated such as anxiety, nervousness, sleeplessness, depression, asthma, allergies, sinus problems, digestive disorders like Crohn’s Disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, diarrhea, and constipation. Other common ailments treated include headaches, migraines, treatments to help stop smoking and many more conditions.
Acupuncture will not conflict with any of your medications. Acupuncture is used to complement and supplement your physician’s treatments not to replace them. You should discuss this issue with your physician and acupuncturist.
