If you’re like many people living in New York, you’ve got aches, pains, and may feel out of whack with your body. Instead of taking another pill or just dealing with it, you may want to consider alternative options, including Acupuncture. This process can be traced back for thousands of years, and it’s based on the idea that each body has various patterns of energy flow that are essential for good health. When disruptions of the flow are present, it causes disease, pain, and a feeling of unwell.
How It Works
A professional acupuncturist should be used because tiny needles will be pressed into the skin, penetrating it. These solid, thin needles can be manipulated by electrical stimulation or by hand to help release your inner energy.
Standard Of Care
In The US, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) extensively reviewed all of the information pertaining to acupuncture in New York. They determined that it is no longer an experimental treatment and that the needles are no longer experimental, either. The needles used by acupuncturists is now regulated, just as surgical scalpels and other equipment are regulated.
Are There Side Effects?
As with almost everything you can do for yourself, there could be some side effects of using this process. The most common severe injury is an accidental lung puncture when the needles are pressed in too far. This can result in partial lung collapse, which is treatable.
Likewise, a common infection reported from these treatments includes viral hepatitis and other bacterial infections if the clinic you choose isn’t sterile and safe. Therefore, it is best to thoroughly research New York acupuncturists and choose one that has years of experience with acupuncture and its uses, benefits, and potential problems.
