Acupuncture
and Traditional Chinese
Medicine
When management of pain is
of a particular issue,
some patients respond particularly
well to
this ancient Chinese modality. With
modern
research pointing to the release of
endorphins,
acupuncture can be an effective tool.
Only
the highest sanitary conditions are
observed
and administered by qualified personnel.
Acupuncture
is one of the oldest, most commonly
used medical
procedures in the world. Originating
in China
more than 2,000 years ago, acupuncture
began
to become better known in North America
in 1971,
when New York Times reporter James
Reston wrote about
how doctors in China used needles
to ease
his pain after surgery.
The
term acupuncture describes a family
of procedures
involving stimulation of anatomical
points
on the body by a variety of techniques.
American
practices of acupuncture incorporate
medical traditions
from China, Japan, Korea, and other
countries.
The acupuncture technique that has
been most studied
scientifically involves penetrating
the skin
with thin, solid, metallic needles
that are manipulated
by the hands or by electrical stimulation.
