Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that has been practiced for over 2,000 years. It works by promoting balance and supporting the body's natural healing capabilities.
Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of tiny, hair-thin needles into specific points on the body. This in turn stimulates the flow of energy within the body, as well as the nervous and endocrine systems, thereby supporting the body’s natural healing processes. Additionally, acupuncture impacts the immune system, as well as the release of neurotransmitters, neurohormones, and endorphins. Studies have also shown that acupuncture may impact immune reactions and processes that regulate blood flow, blood pressure, and body temperature.
The NIH Consensus Statement on Acupuncture recognizes the efficacy of acupuncture for low back pain, fibromyalgia, myofacial pain, headache, stroke rehabilitation, menstrual cramps, addiction, tennis elbow, asthma, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting, and postoperative dental pain.
Besides helping countless patients feel better, acupuncture comes without the negative side effects of many pharmaceuticals. In 1996, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved acupuncture for use by licensed practitioners. Millions of people are treated with acupuncture each year, and very few complications have been reported to the FDA. In fact, the Safety Record of acupuncture is about 0.1%, or 1 in 1000 treatments, with only minor adverse events like local bruising being reported.
Although everyone experiences acupuncture differently, most people feel little to no pain as the hair-thin acupuncture needles are inserted. Some people describe feeling energized by their acupuncture treatment, while others describe feeling relaxed, and even euphoric.
