The Many Benefits Of Acupuncture To Your Health

By Shirley Bennett


The body experiences pain almost every time especially when one is under so much pressure which likewise causes stress. A popular technique that originated from China is called Acupuncture and this is said to treat a variety of illnesses, including pain and stress. The process involves inserting very thin needles at specific points of the body through the skin.

There is still question on how such procedure works scientifically but that did not stop many people from undergoing such procedure. Many believe that Acupuncture San Diego, CA has helped them in more way than they can imagine. Listed on the following paragraphs are some of the medical advantages or benefits that are associated with the process.

People who have had recurring headaches were subjected to such treatment. After which, they reported significant changes in the intensity of the pain that they feel when they have headaches, while they also noticed that they were not getting as much of it as they used to. This study also applies to those who experience severe headaches or migraine.

Arthritis as well as pain in the back and the neck was also significantly reduced when some patients underwent such procedure. Those who did not go through the same thing, however, did not experience ease from said discomfort cause by the aches. Because of this, many think it is justified that doctors include this as a treatment option for their patients.

It has also been noted to help people, especially those with insomnia, sleep better. In a study conducted, insomniac patients who were taking medications were noted to have slept better after going through the treatment compared to those who were only taking medications alone. And contrary to the medicines, the process did not have any bad side effects at all.

Cancer patients, especially those who went through chemotherapy, have also significantly improved in recovery after they were introduced to the procedure. The said process made great impact in boosting the immunity of the said patients as well as in speeding up their recovery. There was also increase in their platelets, and healthy cells were prevented from decreasing.

Such has also been said to have reduced the way that the cognitive system declines, for instance, in Parkinsons disease. This is because this kind of treatment generates a neural response in some areas of the brain that are affected by cognitive diseases. Patients who have undergone such noticed improvement in depression, anxiety, and many others.

Notably, pregnant women can also benefit from such procedure especially when it comes to balancing their hormones and reducing their stress levels. This causes to be emotionally balanced and lessens the physical strain that they feel while carrying the baby inside their womb. Going through the treatment before labor was observed to reduce pain and anxiety, too.

But that does not stop there because women who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress or postpartum depression also felt better because of the procedure. If you wish to go through such while pregnant, however, you must ensure that you hire a licensed or professional acupuncturist. This is because there are points in the body which need to be avoided if one is carrying a baby.
