Acupuncture can be helpful in reducing some of the discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, back pain, sleeplessness, and emotional issues. However, there are certain considerations for acupuncture treatments during pregnancy for example: what is the current trimester and are there any adverse conditions that require unusual caution. An experienced and licensed acupuncturist or Diplomate of Oriental Medicine will know if these situations prohibit an acupuncture treatment. If acupuncture is not possible, many acupuncturists are trained and experienced in other gentle therapies such as Tui Na (a type of massage), cool (non fire) cupping (which helps circulation), and acupressure.

Acupuncture lowers stress via several physiological pathways. Research studies show acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system and helps to release natural body chemicals. These body chemicals activate a person's opioid system, cellular signaling and stimulate the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The limbic system then can moderate the pathways of pain and stress, lowering the heightened sympathetic nervous system's responses we call "stress."

Yes, acupuncture can help treat arthritis knee pain. Acupuncture is now recommended as a first line treatment for arthritis pain. We find that no two people have the same type/intensity of arthritis, so different types of acupuncture may be needed. Some find relief with the hair-thin needles place in the body to stimulate anti-inflammatory cell responses, others may need more involved techniques, such as electro-acupuncture or acu-point injection therapies. As always, be sure your practitioner is certified and licensed by the appropriate authorities.

Acupuncture has fewer side effects than most medications you might take for depression. However, the complications of acupuncture, although infrequent, cannot be overlooked. Some events, such as nausea and syncope, can be mild and transient, but rare events, such as septicemia and hepatitis C infection, can be fatal. As with any medical procedure, training and competency of the provider is paramount to safety. Find a licensed Acupuncturist, Diplomate of Oriental Medicine or Doctor of Oriental Medicine to provide your acupuncture. Local state licensing web sites and the NCCAOM.org (National Certification Council of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) are places to look for these practitioners in your area.

When done by a certified/licensed acupuncturist or Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, the side effects that may happen are minor. The very thin needles can have a transient discomfort when they go in, there may be a drop of blood (much less than a diabetic gets when doing the finger prick blood sugar evaluation), possibly a small bruise and very rarely nausea, that usually doesn't last more than a few hours. Be sure you are hydrated and have had food a few hours before your appointment. The practitioner should help you feel comfortable and relaxed before beginning the treatment. Acupuncture has fewer side effects than most medications you might take for migraines.
