Alternative Medicine - Acupuncture Basics

Recent research has shown that acupuncture is more effective in treating many medical conditions.
Costs of acupuncture can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on how effective
the treatment is and how long it takes.

There are many acupuncture techniques that go beyond inserting a needle. Research has shown that
although it is not clear how acupuncture works, there are certain points. These include the fact that
acupuncture increases the production of endorphins which makes the body feel relaxed and helps
reduce stress.

Acupuncture has been proven to be effective in treating injuries involving irritated, scarred, or irritated
nerves, tendons, or muscles. People don't know that acupuncture can be used to treat depression,
anxiety, stress, stress, anxiety and sinusitis. A lot of people are now looking into acupuncture for
weight loss.

There is evidence that acupuncture treatments are more effective than inactive medication for pain
relief post-treatment. This can be maintained at follow up. Although acupuncture treatments typically
take around 25 minutes, the treatment time can vary depending on the patient's needs.

Acupuncture can be combined with traditional Western medicine, chiropractic adjustments, or


naturopathic prescriptions. It is common for the first few acupuncture treatments, which can cause a
feeling of deep relaxation and mild incomprehension immediately after the treatment.

Acupuncture therapy is a series of outpatient treatments that consist of weekly or biweekly


treatments. Although acupuncture is effective as an individual treatment for many health conditions,
it can also be combined with traditional Western medical treatments.

Numerous studies have shown that acupuncture can help reduce Reynaud’s phenomenon, improve
conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, and enhance other treatments for gout if combined with
other therapies.
A vast majority of patients find acupuncture extremely relaxing and comfortable. Even though the
treatment is quick, most patients fall asleep during it. A acupuncture treatment uses heat, needles
and pressure to treat acupuncture points, which are locations on the skin. Ask your chosen
acupuncturist about the recommended treatments and the estimated cost.

Both doctors and the public are accepting acupuncture treatments more often. A majority of
acupuncture therapy can also be practiced by certified medical practitioners who are members of
professional Acupuncture associations that publish semi-annual journals. A variety of health care
areas have found acupuncture to be effective.

Further research will reveal that acupuncture treatment is not only important for the well-being of
patients, but also for medical science advancement. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding
acupuncture. On the one side, there are huge claims about its effectiveness, while on the other, it has
been criticized for its lack of scientific merit.
