The benefits of acupuncture
Research suggests that acupuncture has a range of benefits. Here are some of the benefits that acupuncture therapy may provide:
- Pain relief for tension headaches and migraines.
- Relief for various types of acute pains such as low back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis and knee pain.
- Relief for high and low blood pressure, painful periods, dental pain and morning sickness.
- It’s worthwhile checking the World Health Organisation’s list of problems where acupuncture has been proven effective.
- Acupuncture for fertility can help improve fertility.
- Acupuncture for weight loss can help with losing weight.
Patients can generally expect an improvement in an acute problem after eight to twelve sessions. A person with chronic pain may need weekly visits to an acupuncture clinic over several months.
To find a licensed practitioner, check the National Certification Commission in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine website. Check out our directory to find a licensed acupuncture clinic near you.
