How to Get Newsletters On Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used in the West for hundreds of years. This approach seeks to give a kick-start to the body's own healing mechanisms by puncturing the skin with tiny needles at precise points. The needles are left in the skin for a few minutes and acupuncture theory contends that this process promotes the release of the body's natural painkillers and accelerates recovery. Many people claim that acupuncture can be used to address a vast number of conditions, including tennis elbow, stroke, eczema and herpes.

Tips & Warnings

• Expect to pay moderate to expensive rates for acupuncture treatment. Much hinges on the experience and credentials of your acupuncturist. Location also plays a part, with treatment in some cities being more costly than treatment in others.
• Acupuncture coverage is provided by many insurance plans. Medicare and Medicaid, however, don't offer coverage.
• If suffering from severe symptoms such as prolonged rectal bleeding, do not attempt to treat your condition with acupuncture. Seek help from a doctor.
• Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
