The Benefits of Acupuncture
Even if you’re not a fan of needles (I mean, is anyone really a fan of needles?!), acupuncture offers some tremendous health benefits you may not have yet considered, and with the expert touch of experienced Acupuncturists, you’ll quickly realize the benefits outweigh the hesitation.
Believed to have originated in China around 100 BC with needles made from substances like iron, copper, bronze, silver and gold, acupuncture continues to be widely regarded for its many possible health benefits, including:
- Effectiveness in controlling certain types of pain
- Indigestion symptoms commonly experienced during pregnancy
- Relief from hot flashes in those being treated with anti-estrogen tamoxifen following surgery for breast cancer
- Treating lower back pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, post-operative dental pain, chemo-induced nausea and vomiting, osteoarthritis, hypertension, painful periods (Source: Medical News Today)
- Reduced symptoms for seasonal allergy sufferers, depression, stress, insomnia, infections, heartburn and acid reflux disease (Source: Prevention)
- Eye problems such as Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Glaucoma, Stargardt’s Disease, etc.
- Muscle-skeletal issues like rotator calf, TMJ, Plantar Fasciitis, Tendonitis, knee issues, slipped discs, neuropathies, etc.
- Restlessness, emotional instability
- Digestive and Elimination issues
- Respiratory problems
- And many more!
While more than one session is typically recommended depending on what you’re struggling with, we suggest giving it a try, as noticeable pain relief is possible from the very first session.
