Acupuncture is a treatment derived from traditional Chinese medicine that has been around for 3,000 years wherein an acupuncturist inserts fine needles through the skin at specific points in the body for therapeutic or preventative purposes. A preliminary acupuncture session typically takes 20 to 40 minutes and includes an overall analysis of a person’s health, medical history, and a physical test. Then, the insertion of the acupuncture needles on certain places on the body, known as acupuncture points, will take place. Acupuncture treatment can take up to 10 sessions, depending on the person’s condition. There are several other medicinal use for acupuncture. Based on a number of studies, acupuncture may help relieve several types of chronic pain such as lower back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis or knee pain. In addition, it may help lessen the frequency and intensity of headaches and prevent migraines. Furthermore, it may also treat nausea, anxiety, depression, insomnia and infertility. When acupuncture is not delivered properly, it can cause serious health concerns, such as infections, punctured organs, collapsed lungs, and damage to the central nervous system.
