Sandy Schwartz L.AC.'s Expert Contributions
Is acupuncture a complementary treatment or does it treat ailments by itself?
Acupuncture can be used as a treatment by itself, but it is many times used in conjunction with other Oriental Medicine tools such as herbal medicine or cupping. Even if just acupuncture is used for treatment, you still have the benefit of the Oriental Medicine diagnosis, which is completely different from a Western medicine diagnosis. Using an Oriental Medicine diagnosis we can treat the disease even if Western Medicine hasn’t figured out what it is. With Oriental Medicine I not only treat the disease and symptoms, but also treat the root cause of the disease so that your body heals and gets stronger (not just masking the symptoms). Please feel free to call at the number below if you have any other questions. Sincerely, Dr. Sandy Schwartz DAOM, L.Ac. (512) 341-9900 READ MORE
