How Does Acupuncture Work?
Research has shown that acupuncture can have a number of physiological effects, including increasing blood flow and oxygenation to tissues, reducing inflammation, and modulating the activity of the nervous system.
Combining acupuncture with other traditional and alternative medicine therapies such as herbal medicine, massage, or dietary changes can enhance the overall effectiveness of the treatment. These therapies can work together to address multiple aspects of a person's health and provide a more holistic approach to healing.
FAQs
Can Acupuncture treat addiction?
Combine therapists such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a healthy anti-inflammatory diet, exercise or physical therapy and mind body practices such as meditation or yoga for a comprehensive approach to addressing addiction under the guidance of a physician. Loop in your acupuncturist to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation while reducing the side effects of other treatments.
If I’m in recovery from addiction, is acupuncture safe?
Acupuncture is a non-invasive therapy that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. The needles used in acupuncture are sterile and disposable, which reduces the risk of infection. However, there are some risks associated with acupuncture, including bruising, soreness, and dizziness. Acupuncture is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified practitioner. In fact, acupuncture is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for addiction recovery.
It's important to let your healthcare provider know if you are in recovery from addiction before receiving acupuncture treatment. Some acupuncturists may avoid certain points on the body if you are in recovery from addiction, as these points may be associated with drug or alcohol cravings.
Can I use acupuncture for Pregnancy and Fertility?
Acupuncture can be a safe and effective complementary therapy for pregnancy and fertility by regulating hormones, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, and reducing stress and anxiety. It can also help improve the success rates of fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Acupuncture may be helpful for reducing nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, commonly known as morning sickness. It can also help alleviate other pregnancy-related symptoms, such as fatigue and back pain.
Acupuncture can be a useful tool for preparing the body for labor and delivery. It can help promote cervical ripening, reduce the need for medical interventions during delivery, and reduce pain during labor & can help support postpartum recovery by reducing pain and inflammation, promoting relaxation, and improving sleep.
Is Acupuncture used for Pain Management?
Acupuncture can be used as an alternative or complementary therapy for pain management, particularly for chronic pain conditions. Acupuncture may be particularly useful for individuals who wish to avoid or reduce their use of pain medications, including opioids.
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, which can help reduce pain and inflammation and promote the body's natural healing process. It is believed to work by activating the body's natural painkillers, such as endorphins, and by regulating the activity of the nervous system.
Numerous studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective for managing various types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, knee pain, headaches, and fibromyalgia. In some cases, acupuncture may be as effective as or more effective than traditional pain medications.
It's important to note that acupuncture may not be appropriate for all types of pain or for all individuals.
How does acupuncture support my mental health treatments?
Acupuncture is a complementary therapy for mental health care and can be used in conjunction with other treatments such as psychotherapy and medication to reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and regulating the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, improve sleep quality and duration and promote overall wellness which can reduce the symptoms of PTSD and addiction.
Will acupuncture improve my mental health?
Alternative medicine therapies, such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mindfulness practices, can offer individuals a sense of empowerment and control over their health. They may be more personalized and tailored to individual needs than traditional medical treatments, and they may involve a greater focus on prevention and overall wellness.
