Acupuncture Therapy: Restoring Balance and Alleviating Symptoms

At RENMED, our therapy aims to resolve tissue disorders both locally and throughout the body, harnessing the power of brain stimuli. Our unique method, refined by Dr. Alexandra Dikdur’s expertise, addresses the imbalances caused by the rigors of modern life in Ingolstadt.

Understanding Tissue Response: In our fast-paced world, tissues can be either overburdened or under-stimulated, leading to changes in their tone. This can result in the tissue becoming either too rigid or too lax, causing a range of symptoms like pain, a sensation of heat or cold, general discomfort, or muscle cramps. At RENMED, we recognize these as signs of the body’s struggle to maintain its natural balance.

RENMED’s Acupuncture Technique: By precisely inserting acupuncture needles into specific points on the body, we initiate a change in the body’s set point. This action is more than just physical; it signals the brain to reactivate the body’s innate healing processes. Dr. Alexandra Dikdur’s skill in selecting these points ensures that each session is tailored to the individual needs of our Ingolstadt patients.

Personalized Treatment Duration: Each session at RENMED is a journey towards healing, lasting anywhere from 20-40 minutes. The number of needles used varies from 2-20, depending on the individual’s condition and specific health goals.

Experience the RENMED Difference: Our approach is not just about treating symptoms; it’s about understanding and correcting the underlying imbalances. We invite you to experience this transformative therapy and join our many satisfied clients in Ingolstadt who have found relief and rejuvenation through our care.

Acupuncture is highly esteemed for its ability to alleviate a variety of pains, offering significant relief for chronic pain, migraines, and arthritis-related discomfort. By targeting specific points in the body, acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and other natural painkillers, which can reduce pain perception and promote a sense of wellbeing. This treatment is particularly effective for those who seek a non-pharmacological approach to managing pain, offering a holistic alternative that addresses both physical and psychological aspects of pain.

In the fast-paced modern world, stress and anxiety are common afflictions. Acupuncture offers a natural and effective means of reducing stress by regulating the body’s stress hormones, such as cortisol. This regulation helps to calm the nervous system, leading to a reduction in anxiety levels, improved mood, and a general sense of relaxation. Regular acupuncture sessions can be particularly beneficial for people experiencing chronic stress, aiding in the restoration of a balanced emotional state.

Insomnia and other sleep disturbances can significantly impact life quality. Acupuncture has been shown to aid in improving sleep quality by addressing the underlying issues that contribute to sleep disturbances. It works by promoting relaxation and reducing stress, which are often key contributors to insomnia. Additionally, acupuncture can help regulate the body’s natural sleep-wake cycles, leading to more restful and restorative sleep. This makes it a valuable treatment option for those seeking a natural approach to improving their sleep patterns.

Acupuncture is also known for its ability to enhance digestive function. It can be particularly effective in treating conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal disorders. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, it can help regulate gastrointestinal motility, alleviate inflammation, and balance the gut’s nervous system. This leads to an improvement in symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements, offering a holistic approach to digestive health.

In addition to its other benefits, acupuncture is believed to enhance the immune system’s functioning. By stimulating the body’s natural defense mechanisms, it can help in improving overall health and resilience against illnesses, such as the common cold. This immune-boosting effect is particularly beneficial during seasonal changes or times when the body is more susceptible to external pathogens. Regular acupuncture sessions can contribute to a stronger immune response, reducing the frequency and severity of common illnesses and promoting overall well-being.

More About Acupuncture

Acupuncture, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practiced for thousands of years, is a refined healing art, deeply rooted in the principle of Qi – the vital life force flowing through the body’s meridians. RenMED and Dr. Alexandra Dikdur, renowned for their expertise in TCM, emphasize the importance of this harmonious Qi flow for health and wellbeing. At RenMED, under Dr. Dikdur’s guidance, acupuncture is employed not just for its well-documented pain-relieving benefits, but as a comprehensive treatment modality.

RENMED’s approach integrates traditional wisdom with modern clinical practices, addressing a wide spectrum of ailments and promoting overall wellness. This synergy of ancient knowledge and contemporary application underlines the holistic philosophy at the heart of their practice, ensuring a balanced and individualized treatment experience.

The Pathways of Qi

The life-sustaining energy flow Qi flows along defined pathways under the skin, in the tissue. According to Chinese belief, there are 14 main channels running through the body. If the energy that flows through these pathways is in balance, we are healthy. If there is a long-term imbalance and the Qi cannot flow freely, we become ill.

Acupuncture and Its Effects

Through physical influence (with sterile, extremely thin needles, laser beams, or moxa cones) on anatomically precisely defined points, energy flows (Chinese Qi and xue) in the channels (meridians) are addressed. This eliminates disease-causing factors, supports the constitution, and harmonizes the energy flows. Blockages are eliminated, and disruptions are specifically alleviated or finally resolved. The fact that this is possible and that acupuncture treatment has a positive effect has been scientifically proven by numerous clinical studies. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recognizes the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating a variety of diseases. Correct application requires a lot of knowledge and a precise idea of the possible effect of the points.

Acupuncture Points and Their Significance

In Chinese, acupuncture points are also called “influence holes” (shuxue) because most of them are found in anatomically palpable dents or gaps. Over 360 classic points lie on the symmetrically laid out main channels, each named after an organ. A doctor experienced in acupuncture can use his knowledge and a detailed examination to determine which points in a patient should be stimulated in order to bring the energy flow back into unhindered flow.

Acupuncture in Practice and Its History

Acupuncture is known to effectively relieve pain, for example, for migraines, back pain, and knee problems. But the treatment method can do much more. For example, it is also very effective in counteracting infectious diseases. One of the standard works of Chinese medicine, the Huángdì Nèijīng (the inner classic of the Yellow Emperor), consists of two parts, the first of which was written around 2698–2598 BC. Its authors already knew how important harmony and balance between humans and nature are. A balanced lifestyle and a holistic understanding of health are the foundations for a long and fulfilling life. In the second part of the work, the location of the acupuncture points and the associated channels are explained. When you use acupuncture for yourself, your body benefits from knowledge that has been collected and constantly expanded in empirical medicine over at least 2000 years.
