Acupuncture is a treatment that has been used for centuries for treating minor ailments or symptoms of major disorders. In most cases acupuncture gives temporary relief of pain symptoms that could be related to such illnesses or aliments as asthma, low back pain, heats, which could be tension or even migraine, menstrual cramps, and fibromyalagia. This treatment is more effective if used with other pain treatments as well. Massage therapy and acupuncture tend to go hand in hand. In most cases with acupuncture treatment it is effective from fifty to seventy percent in short term relief. About twenty percent get long term relief. Less then ten percent get no relief at all.
The acupuncture treatment involves a series of small needles put into spots on the body called trigger points. The needles are very thin, almost as thin as a strand of hair and are inserted anywhere from a fraction of an inch to a full inch. The treatments usually start out by having them very frequently, possibly five to seven times per week. As the treatment starts to help, they taper them down to less frequent visits. There are several altered versions of the original acupuncture. There is the Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and a westernized version. Most practices however stay with the Oriental way of acupuncture. The different types vary in small ways.
This is a very good technique of relieving pain and has millions since now. Try for yourself if you are tired of getting bundles of medications.
