Acupuncture has been around for centuries and it is a very effective treatment for many medical conditions. When added to a treatment regimen, Revive Medical Center has had success in helping our patients with acupuncture. This Chinese medical treatment is particularly effective in relieving the symptoms of the following eight conditions.
Cancer Treatment Side Effects
Some cancer patients have said treatment for the disease is worse than the disease. Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are all side effects of radiation and chemotherapy. Acupuncture can stave these symptoms and also help relieve pain and increase energy and immune response.
Headaches, Back, and Neck Pain
Because acupuncture works directly on the nerves, this treatment is very effective for relieving chronic headaches, back, and neck pain. This includes migraines and tension headaches, as well as pain associated with herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and other back/neck problems.
Infertility
Acupuncture can be added to women’s infertility treatments to boost the chances of getting pregnant. It also works well in relieving menstruation and menopause symptoms, including PMS, pain, moodiness, insomnia, and hot flashes.
Chronic Fatigue
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome or just find yourself tired all the time, acupuncture can give you the boost you need. Acupuncture is used to stimulate the body from a depleted state, which causes excessive fatigue.
Fibromyalgia
This painful condition debilitates women throughout the United States. Consider adding acupuncture to your treatment plan to relieve the chronic pain you feel throughout your body. Acupuncture stimulates nerve responses and relaxes tense muscle tissue.
Asthma
If your traditional treatments are not helping your asthma or you’d prefer to take a natural approach, this procedure can be used to treat asthma. This ancient medicine can also help relieve the symptoms of respiratory diseases such as COPD and pneumonia.
Sports/Repetitive Stress Injuries
Many athletes add acupuncture to their overall wellness programs. Workers in repetitive stress jobs also use this procedure to relieve painful conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Whether a temporary or permanent injury, acupuncture can help.
Gastrointestinal Disease
Finally, GERD, IBS, IBD, and even liver disease can be treated in part with acupuncture. When used in conjunction with other therapies, many patients find relief from their uncomfortable gastrointestinal disorders, including less pain and inflammation.
