Due especially to Acupuncture's ability to quickly control pain, it has become not only accepted as an alternative medical practice, but for many Americans is now their first choice as a medical procedure, not only for pain relief, such as arthritis pain relief, but increasingly for pain therapy for many additional medical conditions as well. Acupuncture pain relief integrates seamlessly into holistic medicine as do many other treatments within the broader field of Acupuncture and Chinese medical practices.
Acupuncture has been growing in popularity in the United States since the 1970's. In 1997, the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a consensus statement on Acupuncture that concluded that “there is sufficient evidence" to expand its therapeutic use and encourage further studies of this ancient Chinese medical practice.
Certainly the most frequently asked question regarding the initial visit to an Acupuncturist's office is regarding pain, "Do the needles hurt?" The act of acupuncture itself, is mostly painless due to the extremely fine type of needles used. Most patients would describe the procedure of acupuncture as virtually pain free, especially in relation to a shot by a medical professional or dentist, or the act of drawing blood, for instance, but as all individuals are different, some describe slight discomfort, minor pain or just a strange somewhat odd or mostly pleasant sensation from the Acupuncture Needles.
Acupuncture is used more often for various types of pain relief than almost any other alternative medical practice now in the U. S. Acupuncture pain relief is even more popular in other countries than in the USA. Acupuncture pain therapy is perhaps the single greatest reason you see many Acupuncture offices in and around greater Los Angeles. The L. A. area has more acupuncture practices than any other city in the nation.
Parts of West L A and Orange County are very economically prosperous locations so people who want to, can afford alternative pain therapy rather than relying on drugs or just enduring the pain. Acupuncture is also increasingly used for various types of orthopedic treatment beyond just pain therapy.
Acupuncture pain relief has been used to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from bursitis, arthritis and other types of joint and muscle pain, to chronic neck and back pain. It has been found to be extremely effective in treating severe pain in its various forms, including herniated disc pain, other lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, dental pain, sciatica, headache, and even offers cancer pain relief.
An Acupuncture pain therapy regime can be begun immediately and work almost instantly to combat both acute pain and chronic pain in most individuals. Even beyond West L A and California, the benefits of Acupuncture pain relief, such as arthritis pain relief are becoming increasingly popular, although availability is more limited.
