Preston, Lancashire—To be Dated: As an alternative and holistic healthcare provider, 5 Star clinic has continually gained popularity for bringing the best quality practices to Preston. Their services include physiotherapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and more.

Acupuncture, in particular, has received a lot of attention over the past few years. It’s considered alternative pain management that finds its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Acupuncture works by using thin, painless, sterilized, and single-use needles that are inserted in specific trigger spots on the body. These needles, in theory, fill the body with positive energy while removing the pain-causing, negative energy. From a medical standpoint, these needles stimulate the different systems in the body to promote healing.

5 Star Clinic offers acupuncture treatment for osteoarthritis, sciatica, headache, TMJ, ankle, wrist, upper back, lower back, hip, knee, elbow, heel, neck, and shoulder pain. They use a mixture of Western acupuncture and TCM. Western acupuncture involves pathology resolution through 3 mechanisms: Local, Segmental, and Central. It, in turn, modulates the Autonomic Nervous System in the body, relieving pain. TCM, on the other hand, treats pain by balancing the positive and negative energy.

Speaking about the effectiveness of acupuncture, the acupuncturist at 5 Star said, “Acupuncture is more than just a treatment for pain. We want people to feel healed and have positive thoughts about their bodies. Traditional Chinese medicine has stuck around because it works on all these levels. We use Western acupuncture to create a fusion treatment that goes above and beyond simple pain management. Our customers often come to us after losing all hope, but acupuncture gives them the relief they previously hadn’t thought possible.”

At 5 Star Clinic, the diagnosis is also made through the four diagnostic tenets of TCM: Looking, Listening, Touching, and Asking. All of these are ways of pinpointing the exact problem using different methodologies. Treatment is designed according to the diagnosis.
Their acupuncturist can offer dry needling as an alternative to acupuncture which essentially uses the same tools but is different in its treatment: it has a local effect on taut-band muscles and releases “knots” that a person may feel.
