Yes it can help. Acupuncture offers many angles of help in this regard. It increases the absorption and circulation of bio nutrients in the body, as well as removes toxins and obstructions that are inhibiting proper circulation and uptake, such as phlegm. From another standpoint, eastern medicine can boost blood quality through indicated protocols, and blood quality points direct to blood nutrient value, which includes iron.

Acupuncture naturally increases serotonin and dopamine in the body, so the patient will feel relaxed and sometimes sleepy. If you’re going for stress or insomnia, I recommend going in the evening so that you can take advantage of that feeling and sleep well that night.
Does acupuncture raise blood pressure?

Good question! Not seeing the patient in person, it’s hard to say what other factors may be present, but simply put, acupuncture increases circulation. If the patient has other factors like high cholesterol, plaque or arterial sclerosis (which is expected with age), the increased blood flow will slightly heighten blood pressure because of those factors otherwise inhibit blood flow. It’s nothing to be concerned about and should correct again shortly after.

Unfortunately piercing the daith is not something within our realm of practice, so I don’t feel I can comment on that, but I can say that acupuncture can certainly reduce the intensity, frequency and potentially even the occurrence of migraines altogether. There are herbs such as butterbur and feverfew, along with magnesium and CoQ10 that have also had great results for migraine sufferers.
What does "Qi" mean in acupuncture?
In the western world, it’s not a concept we’ve been used to hearing, so it’s not uncommon to feel that way at all. I like to relate it something we can identify with here. Simply READ MORE
In the western world, it’s not a concept we’ve been used to hearing, so it’s not uncommon to feel that way at all. I like to relate it something we can identify with here. Simply put, Qi is energy, so if there were blood without energy, the blood would not flow, just as if there were trees and no wind. Qi creates the movement.

Absolutely! Acupuncture can certainly help constipation for the simple fact that acupuncture creates movement and circulation. There are a few causes for constipation according to eastern medicine: dryness, stress, and lack of movement (like in the case of a sedentary person). Eating more greens and/or drinking green juice can help. Drinking plenty of water, aloe juice, and taking a cod liver oil supplement are also helpful. Best of luck to you
When should I get acupuncture treatment for fertility?

Anytime in the cycle is a good time, and the amount of acupuncture will vary case by case. Acupuncture works to regulate the female menstrual cycle, regulate and balance hormones, improve egg quality, uterine lining, and so on. It often takes weekly acupuncture for at least a couple of cycles to accomplish some of these goals. Conversely, it can also be an issue of the father as well, and acupuncture can help to improve sperm motility, numbers and morphology, so it may be advantageous to determine whether his statistics can improve as well.

Is acupuncture a better alternative to opioids?
Oh the answer here is a resounding "yes." Acupuncture can be so strong in pain reduction that it is indicated (and frequently used I might add) to induce an anesthetic effect READ MORE
Oh the answer here is a resounding "yes." Acupuncture can be so strong in pain reduction that it is indicated (and frequently used I might add) to induce an anesthetic effect during surgery, in lieu of anesthesia. This is more commonly performed in Asia, but it is a growing field in the US as well, because research supports it and insurance companies are beginning to cover it.
What can acupuncture do for the muscles?
Muscle spasms can be alleviated with acupuncture because acupuncture improves circulation and nerve conduction. It's important to note, muscle spasms may be due to deficient minerals READ MORE
Muscle spasms can be alleviated with acupuncture because acupuncture improves circulation and nerve conduction. It's important to note, muscle spasms may be due to deficient minerals in the body, so I would recommend getting a full vitamin and mineral panel done on your bloodwork. If that seems like too much trouble at the moment, it wouldn't hurt to try supplementing magnesium glycinate and see if that does the trick.
Can my rash be from acupuncture?
This is tough to say exactly what it's from, but it either could be a slight reaction to just having a needle inserted - which should go away in a day - or a reaction to a cheap READ MORE
This is tough to say exactly what it's from, but it either could be a slight reaction to just having a needle inserted - which should go away in a day - or a reaction to a cheap needle. In the latter case, it would be a good idea to try another type of needle.
Are acupuncture needles reused?

In the US, as an acupuncturist, you cannot buy a malpractice policy if you don't use single-use, disposable needles. The only establishments that may be reusing needles are those that you'd find in china town, but they are taking great risks and are probably not licensed in this country.
Is it normal to feel lethargic after my session?
This effect can be due to the combination of needles used. It certainly is an expected effect of some treatments, so it's best to discuss the effect with your acupuncturist.
How often should I go for acupuncture?
Definitely, I usually tell patients that they should go back for another treatment when the relief from the previous treatment begins to wear off. That's when you know the body's READ MORE
Definitely, I usually tell patients that they should go back for another treatment when the relief from the previous treatment begins to wear off. That's when you know the body's circulation of qi and blood is beginning to stagnate again, which causes pain. Circulation is health and the more you can get acupuncture, the better you will feel.
How many points are there in acupuncture?
There are hundreds of acupuncture points but only a small number are chosen for a treatment.

Having a past career in sports medicine and personal training, I can honestly say that eating correctly is 70% of the battle and exercise is 30%. Acupuncture can help by improving circulation of blood and energy, improving organ function to help detox the body and give you more energy, and by balancing hormones, which will improve your mood, sleep and energy.
