Chinese Acupuncture
Chinese acupuncture and Chinese medicine go hand in hand, but while the practice likely originated in China, this method of healing is also practiced in Japanese, Tibetan and Korean traditions. Once looked upon as suspect, acupuncture has gained wide acceptance by the Western medical community for its ability to help treat and manage chronic pain, migraine headaches and a variety of neurological conditions.
Today, acupuncture is covered by many health insurance plans thanks to the National Institutes of Health 1997 Consensus Development Program which determined that there was sufficient evidence of acupuncture’s value to broaden its use to include conventional medical treatment.
Basis of Acupuncture
When you think of acupuncture, you might picture someone lying on a table with hundreds of tiny needles sticking out of their skin. This image isn’t far from the truth, but the concepts on which acupuncture is based point to a beautiful symmetry that is rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.
