#1 Shingles Shingles come from latent chicken pox virus. You may have thought you’d left the chicken pox far behind in childhood. Yet, stress can trigger this (after you’ve had chicken pox). Acupuncture can help prevent long-term nerve pain from nerve damage that can remain years, even decades after shingles. Sometimes long-term un-resolved shingles causes burning nerve pain, headaches, etc.
#2 Digestive problems: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (I.B.S.), heart burn, constipation/ diarrhea and even Crohns disease, are commonly treated with acupuncture.
#3 Breech baby Acupuncturists can flip a breech baby using Moxibustion (special herbs usually in the form of a cigar-like stick). The herbal stick is lit and burned (near) a specific acupuncture point on the pregnant woman’s body.
#4 Joint Pain Acupuncture is good at treating bone pain due to Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, degenerative bone disorders, congenital (since birth) bone or spine disorders such as Spina bifida or Scoliosis in Anoka and Osteoarthritis/ Knee pain acupuncture has been researched with good treatment results.
#5 Allergies are commonly treated by acupuncture, whether the root cause is seasonal, food, genetics, etc. Sinus issues, bronchitis, asthma and breathing issues are commonly treated with acupuncture.
#6 Sciatica Pain involves pain shooting down the leg. The pain may begin in the lower back. Sometimes there is also numbness. The large sciatic nerve travels from the buttocks, down the leg and easily becomes pinched or entrapped in Anoka. Sciatic pain is common after pregnancy or after lifting a heavy object.
#7 Neuropathy Nerve pain, pins and needles sensation or numbness due to nerve issues, often diabetic Neuropathy in Anoka.
#8 Sleep Insomnia is commonly treated in Anoka with acupuncture and some relief is usually noticed within one treatment. Usually more than one treatment will be necessary. As with most issues, usually the longer or more chronic it has become, the more treatments will be necessary. Sleep often suffers with heat and perspiration symptoms of Hot Flashes during Menopause or Perimenopause (the time leading up to Menopause).
