How Acupuncture Can Help

While acupuncture is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also recognized by Western physicians as an effective way to treat pain, reduce stress and increase overall wellness. The most commonly used method of acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at strategic points on your body that result in stimulating nerves, muscles and connective tissues. Many practitioners believe that this stimulation also boosts your body’s natural painkillers.

Acupuncture is used mainly to relieve discomfort associated with a variety of diseases and conditions, including:

• Muscular and neurological pain relief
• Mental health and stress management
• Gastro-intestinal problems
• Gynecological issues
• Allergies
• Chemotherapy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting
• Dental pain
• Headaches, including tension headaches and migraines
• Labor pain
• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Menstrual cramps
• Respiratory disorders, such as allergic rhinitis
