Some people get acupuncture as a last resort when other modalities fail. Others get acupuncture to maintain health to prevent disease or injuries to get worse.
Getting stuck with needles may sound stressful, but it is not the same experience as getting a shot nor a vaccine. Some treatments and some treatments may be more intense to get faster and more dramatic results, but the flip side is also true that some treatments are nearly painless. Some people really enjoy the shift they feel immediately in change of mood, dramatic decrease in pain levels, as well as increased range of motion.
After insertion of the acupuncture needles people usually relax, and some fall asleep until the needles are removed by the acupuncturist. There is usually a continued and noticeable affect that can last for 2-3 days on average. This can be less irritable, better sleep, lighter mood, improved organ function etc.
Acupuncture is not a cure for any disease, but can dramatically reduce symptoms and increase the bodies immunity. There is basically a treatment for almost every medical condition with acupuncture, however acupuncture is not the best treatment for every condition.
If you have a serious medical condition please call 9-11.
It is important to get an appropriate evaluation by a medical professional such as an acupuncturist, MD or modality of your choice. Once a thorough evaluation is complete we can be sure to create a treatment plan that is right for you. Though Chinese Medicine can be very effective for such a wide range of issues with great result, it is vital that people have a Primary Care Physician for serious medical conditions. I have worked with MDs for years and have found Western and Asian medicine work far better together than they do alone. Acupuncture can relieve a lot of side affects of Western Medication. Acupuncture is great for treating pain conditions, thus getting people off of pain medication. For treating stroke, Bells Palsy conditions, please get acupuncture as soon as possible. For sleep, digestion, hormonal issues, PTSD, acupuncture has shown great results.
