The Science of Acupuncture
We are on a mission to give our patients the best care possible, by treating them with ancient techniques backed by scientific data.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical technique that involves inserting small little needles at specific points on the body for improved health and vitality. It originated in China around 2500 BCE. By the late 20th century, it was practiced all around the world and was known as a highly respected form of treatment. Over 13,000 studies in 60 countries over the last 20 years have validated acupuncture as an effective alternative approach for restoring health, achieving balance, and alleviating discomfort from a variety of diseases and conditions. Based on scientific data, acupuncture has been proven to effectively treat health issues such as pain, infertility, cancer, stroke, mood disorders, inflammation and more. One study found that acupuncture improved as much as 117 conditions!
Within the last few years, acupuncture garnered increased media attention due to numerous reports showcasing its effectiveness in treating “COVID long-haulers”—individuals who continue to experience lingering effects long after their initial coronavirus infection. These persistent symptoms often include the loss of sense of smell and taste, chronic fatigue, respiratory issues, brain fog, muscle and joint pain, and more. Its holistic approach aims to support the body’s natural healing processes, providing relief and improving the quality of life for those struggling with post-COVID conditions. As the medical community seeks comprehensive solutions for these long-term effects, acupuncture has emerged as a promising alternative therapy.
