What the Science Says About Acupuncture for Pain
According to the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health, acupuncture can effectively treat a wide array of acute and chronic diseases and health conditions and provide preventative care.
Acupuncture has been studied for a wide range of pain conditions, such as postoperative dental pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, headache, low-back pain, menstrual cramps, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, and tennis elbow.
Overall, it can be very difficult to compare acupuncture research results from study to study and to draw conclusions from the cumulative body of evidence. This is because studies may use different acupuncture techniques (e.g., electrical vs. manual), controls (comparison groups), and outcome measures.Based on a thorough diagnosis, we will help you achieve a healthier lifestyle through acupuncture.
