New medical research supports the use of acupuncture for relief from pain and anxiety. Let’s go in-depth on some of those long-term benefits of acupuncture.
At Precision Healing And Wellness we witness the paradigm daily, as our licensed acupuncturists assess and successfully treat patients with a wide range of health conditions. In practicing acupuncture, we are creating the opportunity for your body to naturally heal itself.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture is based on the ancient Chinese principal that energy is a powerful healer. Tiny needles are inserted along 14 meridians or pathways, causing the body to release vital energy or “chi”.
This healing energy comes in various forms that can be measured and documented. For instance, Color Doppler Imaging verifies that acupuncture improves blood flow, and the circulation of oxygen rich blood is paramount to healing. Additionally, there is evidence that acupuncture stimulates the release of natural, pain-relieving hormones. In both instances the body is rebalancing itself, leading to better health.
Migraine Patients & Long-Term Acupuncture Benefits
Migraine sufferers will tell you, it’s not only the headaches that sideline them, but indirect anxiety and depression stemming from the condition.
Recent research shows migraine sufferers experience a lower risk of depression and anxiety. Equally important, it shows a reduction in the amount of money spent on medical treatments. Long-term in this case involves following the participating patients for 13 years.
So, what’s behind the results? The use of acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are often referred to as “feel good” chemicals or natural pain relievers. This can have a significant effect on both pain and wellbeing.
Acupuncture and Chronic Pain
Back pain can stop you in your tracks. That said, you can imagine the interest in a medical study focusing on the long-term effects of acupuncture on patients with chronic back pain.
Results of 1 and 2 year evaluations show acupuncture to be significantly more effective in reducing body pain in patients receiving acupuncture, compared to patients getting traditional therapy. Furthermore, the study refers to acupuncture as a cost-effective intervention.
Achieving Long-Term Acupuncture Benefits in Our Clinic
At Precision Healing And Wellness, our licensed acupuncture therapists treat patients with a wide range of health conditions.
For example, we use acupuncture to treat neck and back pain, carpel tunnel, tennis elbow and more. Additionally, we find success in reducing pain from headaches and migraines. We administer acupuncture for stress, anxiety and depression. We even find acupuncture to be successful in helping both women and men experiencing infertility.
It’s one thing to produce short-term benefits with acupuncture. Our goal is to provide lasting results. We start with a full patient assessment. Then, we develop a treatment protocol based upon each patient’s unique condition and circumstances.
For long-term acupuncture benefits most patients receive a series of treatments, sometimes coupled with massage therapy. Additionally, we are available to work with your primary health provider for continuity in your care.
