Yes! Acupuncture works wonders for sciatica! I treat it quite often!

Yes, it can! Arthritis, simply put, is inflammation of the bone. There is a reason why there is inflammation and it’s is not genetic. You may be have a more predisposed weakness to have arthritis versus the person next to you, but it doesn’t not mean you have to have it. Inflammation is the root of all illness and pain. The reason for it is because blood is not circulating
optimally to the areas of arthritis. Acupuncture helps stupendously with that! It brings your body back to balance in the most natural way possible, by using your own, self-programmed healing mechanism which everybody is equipped with!

It really depends on each person as each case is very unique. If your neck pain is an acute issue then it will most likely be treated quickly. However, if it is chronic , most of the times here are many layers to the pain. Meaning, it could be due to many causes such as posture, stress (or any emotional issue), previous unhealed injury, etc. The key is to figure out any lifestyle factors that may be contributing to it and find a way to get rid of it! At least that’s what I do in my practice!

Chinese medicine (which encompasses many therapies including acupuncture) was mainstream medicine dating back thousands of years ago before medication or anything like that ever existed. With this medicine alone, emperors of China were living into their 90s during a time where the life expectancy was into the 30s. If that doesn't clue you in to how powerful this medicine is, then I don't know what will. Acupuncture is an amazing therapy because it is COMPLETELY natural and it makes your body do the work. Meaning, it teaches your body to heal itself through its own, self-programmed healing capability (programmed in your brain from the second you started developing). By improving blood circulation all throughout your body, acupuncture therapy helps to reduce inflammation (which is the primary cause of any issue in the body whether it be illness, pain, blockage, etc.) and as it does this, everything functions better (including fertility). You can read about countless studies on it and success stories from women who have tried several IVF cycles, gotten nowhere, then tried acupuncture and got pregnant right away. Happens all the time. Good luck to your sister.

In many ways, acupuncture can act as a standalone treatment for a wide variety of ailments. However, it is labeled as a complementary medical therapy as it can work in conjunction with other therapies as well. However, I always inform my patients that it would be ideal to only get this therapy and no other therapy (such as a massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, etc.) on the same day. You need to let the body process and heal after treatment.

By going over his entire medical history and lifestyle habits (including diet, etc.), I would find the right treatment for him. There is a lot of research that shows success with acupuncture in the treatment of indigestion.

This is a normal side effect of acupuncture. Sometimes, when I see that happen in my office, I try to dial back a little on the intensity of treatment so that it does not deplete my patients' energy as much. I try to have them stay as functional as possible. However, your body may need to feel that way until the cycle reverses. Meaning, you will ultimately get to a point where you get more energy after treatments!

Yes! Acupuncture helps a great deal with sleep!

False. Acupuncture can actually help with high blood pressure because one of the leading causes of high blood pressure is stress. The side effects of acupuncture are beneficial side effects because it is a completely natural therapy and it is making your body do all the work and self-healing. The worst side effect that acupuncture has ever caused in my office is minor bruising at the needle site (and most of the time that is because my patients are on some sort of medication that makes them bruise more easily).

Yes it can! I have had much success with my patients suffering from vertigo!

Yes it can! I have been successful with many patients in the treatment of vertigo!

Everyone has a different pain tolerance and perception of pain. I have some patients who think certain needles are painful but it is very temporary and goes away as quickly as it comes. Others will fall asleep right as the needles go in and claim they can't feel anything.
