Acupuncture Effectively Treats Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
A study comparing the effects of acupuncture on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) against the effects of steroids used to treat the same condition found that both had significant beneficial results. There were few ways in which the two differed except that the acupuncture group reported less nocturnal awakening than the steroid group and the acupuncture group reported a significant decrease in distal motor latency (the time between nerve stimulation and reaction). The study concluded that acupuncture was just as effective as prescribed steroid use and in some ways had less adverse effects on the patients. With
many people working at the computer for hours on end CTS can be an uncomfortable and crippling issue so give us a call and make an appointment to relieve your Carpal Tunnel pain. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19590482
Acupuncture is Anti-Inflammatory
Inflammatory diseases and conditions cause many people stress and discomfort in their daily lives and most turn to pharmaceuticals; a lot of people however don’t think about acupuncture. Continuing research and study has shown acupuncture to be an effective way of treating inflammatory diseases such as asthma, rhinitis and rheumatoid arthritis among other painful conditions. Acupuncture helps to control neuropeptides (chemical signals in the brain) which are hypothesized to regulate the process of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory reactions in the body. If you are looking for a way to avoid
the pharmacy and a pill every time one of these conditions flares up make an appointment with us and break free of these problems. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23476696 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1781596/
Acupuncture Can Lower Your Blood Pressure
Heart health in America today is dangerously low and millions find themselves taking pill after pill per day to regulate their blood pressure. Blood pressure to the heart is one of the most important cardiovascular functions and when it’s not watched can lead to serious health risks. Conventional medication has proven ineffective for some so researchers are looking for new ways to treat the growing problem of high blood pressure. Recent studies have revealed that acupuncture has significant statistical data proving it to be effective in reducing blood pressure. In this study acupuncture helped reduce ischemia. Ischemia is the lack of oxygen to the heart which occurs when blood vessels are blocked. If you have high blood pressure
and feel that your medication isn’t changing that, only keeping larger problems at bay then consult an acupuncturist and take steps to seriously improve your heart health. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23724695
