Acupuncture is an alternative treatment based on the Chinese medical tradition. It is performed by applying needles to specific points on the body. These points are referred to as “acupuncture points” and they impact the flow of energy in the body. The goal of acupuncture is to balance the flow of energy in the body and combat diseases by treating physical and emotional problems such as pain, stress, and depression.
Acupuncture can generally be applied in conjunction with other treatments and its efficacy is being researched. However, the effectiveness of acupuncture varies for different illnesses and may not be a suitable treatment method for all diseases. Additionally, there may be some side effects and a risk of pain associated with the needle application. It may not be appropriate to receive acupuncture treatment without consulting your doctor.
