Hi Everyone,

Many of you are now familiar with acupuncture in that in involves placing needles in certain places on the body. What you may not know is that this practice can help with so many different ailments. It has been shown to help relieve pain, stress, improve circulation, reduce headaches and migraines and so much more.

Stress can release chemicals in our bodies that can wreak havok on us over time. Stress can cause anything from tightness in your muscles to weight gain and it can be a factor in other diseases. While nobody can provide a stress-free life for you, we can provide a way to reduce the amount of stress in your life and help decrease the risks that are associated with it.

It looks very painful

Looks (as often is the case) can be decieving. This is true when it comes to acupuncture. The needles used for acupuncture are much smaller than even a sewing needle. They are about the size of one strand of hair. Most patients describe feeling a pressure sensation but no pain. In fact, many patients get acupuncture to relieve their chronic pain.

What Is Acupuncture?

Have you heard of acupuncture but aren’t sure exactly what is involved? You’re not alone. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about acupuncture and we’d like to clear a few things up.

  • Acupuncture is painful – This seems to be based on a fear of needles. While that fear is real, the pain is not. The needles used are about the width of a strand of hair.
  • Acupuncture doesn’t work – Acupuncture was helping people long before western medicine. It does not involve harmful chemicals and has been proven to provide relief to many symptoms.
  • Acupuncture is expensive – Acupuncture is becoming recognized by more and more healthcare professionals and insurance companies are starting to see the benefits of including it in their plans.
  • Acupuncture is addictive – Although some patients will need a few sessions to gain the maximum benefits of acupuncture in The Villages, it is not addictive. Quite oppositely, acupuncture can often help curb other addictions like smoking or alcohol.

What Is Acupuncture

These are just a few of the many things that acupuncture can help with.

Acupuncture For Headaches

Acupuncture For Headaches

Why Should You Try Acupuncture?

Many of us suffer from routine headaches or very painful acute headaches. If you’re someone who has been suffering in silence, it’s time to speak up! There are options to reduce the severity, occurrences and symptoms of your headaches.

ACUPUNCTURE CAN HELP MANAGE AND REDUCE HEADACHES

A 2016 review published by the American Headache Society found that acupuncture can be part of a treatment plan for people suffering from migraines, tension type headaches, and other types of chronic headaches.

Another 2016 Cochrane review showed that “adding acupuncture to routine care or treatment of acute headaches reduces the frequency of headaches in the short term (three months).”

Many people simply take OTC meds such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen to combat their headaches. These may be effective in the short term, but they can lead to much worse effects in long term usage. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Long term or heavy use of Ibuprofen and Naproxen can cause chronic kidney disease known as chronic interstitial nephritis. Your headaches are bad enough without having to worry about side effects from the pills you’re taking to alleviate them! The good news is that this doesn’t have to be the case. Don’t continue to “deal with” the painful aches, try acupuncture for yourself and get the relief you’ve been needing.
