What is acupuncture?
As part of Chinese medicine, acupuncture has existed for more than 3,000 years and has been beneficial to the health and prevention of many human diseases for centuries. As an energy medicine, acupuncture is based on balancing physical and mental energy to promote good health; reducing and eliminating acute and chronic pain and helping to restore persistent health problems. It is based on Eastern philosophy and is associated with the natural cycle, balancing the opposite qualities of nature and the human body as part of nature itself.
How does acupuncture work?
The basis of acupuncture treatment is to insert fine hair fine needles into certain parts of the body's meridians, and then insert acupuncture reaction points to activate and stimulate healing and relieve pain. Acupuncture is used to treat the integrity of the individual, and the acupuncturist uses very sophisticated assessment methods to determine the energy state of the body. Then, they decided to restore the best and shortest path of health at the physical and emotional levels in each individual case. After a wide history, observation of the pulse and tongue, and physical examination, the combination of points assembled in the prescription is evaluated based on a very specific diagnosis. Acupuncture prescriptions are re-evaluated and re-evaluated for each subsequent course based on changes in pulse, tongue, and diagnostic diagnosis, and may or may not change.
How acupuncture benefits the performers
Preventively, performers can benefit from acupuncture by preparing the body to meet the intensive endurance requirements they face in preparing for the performance. By stimulating blood and oxygen through the tissue circulation, acupuncture reactions may face physical, mental and physiological stress responses and reduce their susceptibility to stress and muscle spasms. Combined with appropriate instrumental and/or vocal techniques, acupuncture can help performers achieve lasting best performance without pain or injury.
However, if the initial discomfort evolves into pain and often limits movement, then injuries often occur because musicians often surpass themselves to their limits and work through pain according to my experience. Insufficient rest, unhealthy eating habits, incorrect postures, and mental and emotional stresses further exacerbate this problem. Since these are warning signs from the body that something is weakened and unbalanced, performers must seek professional help, rest and allow enough time for treatment. Acupuncture at this stage helps the performer to recover by initiating the healing process and can work well on their own or in addition to prescribed medical care.
Musician's injury and acupuncture
There are many possible injuries, such as physical trauma, sprains, repetitive strains, tendonitis, and the anxiety experienced by musicians and general performers today. Acupuncture is a well-studied medical model that has been shown to help treat carpal tunnel syndrome, focal dystonia, back and shoulder pain, stress relief, headache and insomnia. All of these are very frequent performer health issues that hinder and limit their performance career. Many people receive conventional medical treatment, different physical treatments, and more importantly acupuncture and related Chinese medicine techniques.
Since acupuncture affects the psychological and physical aspects of an individual, several performers' problems can usually be solved during acupuncture treatment. For example, they may have carpal tunnel syndrome, but there are also problems with anxiety and openness. Or they may have chronic shoulder and neck pain, but the level of stress caused by pain is high and it is difficult to fall asleep.
When planning acupuncture treatment, the acupuncturist will consider what treatment options are available to performers who exhibit the above symptoms. It will address the main causes of these symptoms and the acute pain and discomfort that alleviate the main symptoms. Therefore, very specific treatment plans are always prescribed according to individual circumstances. Several treatments are often required to notice significant improvements, and often change lifestyles, and instrumental and/or speech techniques must be adjusted. If these changes are made and used as the standard for the performance of the performer, the benefits of acupuncture treatment will last longer.
Acupuncture and Western Medicine
Acupuncture works well with conventional medications and other complementary medical therapies. Initially, and preferably shortly, the drug can enable reliable and rapid recovery to conventional instrumental and vocal exercises, and is the treatment of choice for many in the highly competitive world of performance. However, regular use of the drug may cause further damage and cause many side effects. This in turn has a major impact on performance, endurance and overall vitality. The use of analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs and stereotypes can alleviate temporary pain, pain, stiffness and/or swelling. However, long-term use may mask deeper fundamental problems, as pain is often a "good" sign of body signals and needs attention to prevent further deterioration of symptoms.
Acupuncture treatment provides safe and non-toxic immediate pain relief and long-term health benefits that extend to all aspects of health. Since the nature of the work of the performers is often a profession and work, it is essential that the body and mind are properly handled. If ignored and not appreciated, the painful condition can usually progress from acute to chronic, and performers may face a long absence of their instruments during recovery. According to my clinical experience, Chinese medicine acupuncture is both preventive and therapeutic, but the recovery period after injury is much shorter, and the susceptibility to further injury is greatly reduced. Acupuncture always plays a role in the deep constitutional level of the individual. Solving the root cause of the problem can resolve the symptoms and improve general health and longevity.
