Acupuncture

Acupuncture is centuries old.  Many chiropractors, medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and Chinese practitioners practice this art.  It's great way to control pain and there seems to be some research that is beginning to support it's efficacy.  My recommendation is to downplay the hype, marketing, and mystery and stick with where this treatment is strongest: short-term pain relief in hard to control pain syndromes. Acupuncture can stimulate the bodies healing response and help with chronic pain. ETPS, Prolotherapy, targeted nutrition and Stem cell procedures enhance results. More can be learned about stem cells in our stem cell classroom
