Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been a major part of primary healthcare in
China for the last 5,000 years. It is used extensively for a variety
of medical purposes ranging from the prevention and treatment
of disease, to relieving pain and anesthetizing patients for
surgery. As in many oriental medicine practices, the emphasis
of acupuncture lies on prevention. In traditional Chinese
medicine, the highest form of acupuncture was given to enable
you to live a long, healthy life.

In the past 40 years, acupuncture has become a well-known treatment in developed and developing countries. Acupuncture is proven effective for pain reduction, has a great safety record and is being utilized by a growing number of people.

Acupuncture is one of the most thoroughly researched and documented of the alternative medical practices. A series of controlled studies has shown evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, chemotherapy-induced nausea, asthma, back pain, painful menstrual cycles, bladder instability, and migraine headaches. Studies on acupuncture also have shown positive results in the areas of chronic pain management and in the management of drug addition, two areas where conventional Western medicine is very limited.

Even in the area of handsurgery, Acupuncture is best known for the control of pain. However, acupuncture can treat a wide variety of common and uncommon disorders.
