Acupuncture promotes natural healing and improves bodily functioning by freeing vital energy (Chi). This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at precise acupuncture points. Though people experience acupuncture differently, most report only minimal pain. Acupuncture is useful to treat many medical disorders.
The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of medical problems, including:
Digestive disorders: gastritis and hyper-acidity, spastic colon, constipation, diarrhea.- Respiratory disorders: sinusitis, sore throat, bronchitis, asthma, recurrent chest infections.
- Neurological and muscular disorders: headaches, facial tics, neck pain, rib neuritis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, various forms of tendonitis, low back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis.
- Urinary, menstrual, and reproductive problems.
