INDIANAPOLIS – Acupuncture has been an essential part of medicine and healing for thousands of years. You may have seen someone receiving acupuncture treatment on television and thought it looked interesting – or perhaps even strange.
Scientific studies reveal evidence that acupuncture, a
complex system of diagnosis and treatment that views the person as a whole
being, can ease pain and
treat a wide range of ailments.
The technique involves placing hair-thin needles in various
pressure points (called acupoints) throughout the body. Such stimulation is
believed to promote the body’s natural healing capabilities and enhance
function. Acupuncture can be used to relieve pain,
anxiety, stress, chronic fatigue, insomnia, infertility and
more.
Additionally, acupuncture is currently being used for
smoking cessation, alcohol and drug addiction, facial rejuvenation, weight loss and
post-traumatic stress.
Acupuncture is offered at Franciscan St. Francis Health.
