Determining at what Staminamaker point and to what extent acupuncture should be part of a treatment strategy depends upon the nature of the source of the pain, as I will later detail more fully. Beginning a discussion on how and why acupuncture gives relief beyond the Western approach requires a brief exploration of pain from a Chinese medical point of view. In Chinese medicine, we relate the functioning of the body to the role of the Qi. Qi is very difficult to translate, but generally is described as vital energy that flows throughout the body, much like the blood circulatory system. Freedom from pain requires the unimpeded flow of Qi in a continuous circuit. Think of a moving water system like a stream. If nothing obstructs the pathway, the water flows freely. If rocks, trees or a beaver dam are present, the water, to varying degrees, stops flowing. There is less water flowing downstream, a backup of water upstream, and increased water pressure at the point of obstruction.
