Project Description
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that originated thousands of years ago. It is based on the premise that a blockage or disturbance of the flow of the body’s life energy, or “qi,” can cause health issues. Thin needles are inserted to specific acupuncture points throughout the body to help restore and balance the flow of qi, balance the body’s energy, stimulate healing, and promote relaxation.
Results from a number of studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. It also may help reduce the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches. Therefore, acupuncture appears to be a reasonable option for people with chronic pain to consider.
Acupuncture is said to be useful in addressing a variety of health conditions, including:
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Chronic pain (such as headaches, back pain, neck pain)
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Nausea
- Sciatica
- Sinus congestion
- Stress and anxiety
- Tinnitus
- Weight loss
