 In addition to the physical complaints that people often gain relief from with acupuncture, such as allergies, insomnia, depression, infertility and pain, there are other levels of healing that may be attained. As the patient becomes more aware of him or herself, there is potential for a deeper and richer experience of living in every aspect. In 1997 the National Institute of Health recognized acupuncture as effective for the treatment of headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma, addiction, stroke rehabilitation, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy and in postoperative dental pain. |
