What advantages does Acupuncture
offer?
Some people select this treatment because standard medical
therapy has been unable to relieve their conditions or because
they cannot tolerate medications. For example, anti-inflammatory
drugs and steroid injectionswhich are often prescribed
for tennis elbow, osteoarthritis, and other painful conditionssometimes
produce nausea and other side effects. In comparison, acupuncture
treatment is often equally effective at relieving such pain and
does not typically produce side effects.
How can you tell if Acupuncture is working?
If you receive no relief after several weekly treatments, consider
finding a different acupuncturist or ask your doctor's advice
about other medical alternatives.
