Myths About Acupuncture Treatment

Many people may think that acupuncture is some “alternative medicine” that only uneducated, gullible people turn to. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years. It has been a first-line treatment for various types of pain, addiction, respiratory disorders, and much more.

In this blog post, we’ll diagnose some common myths about acupuncture one by one, so you can separate the facts from fiction.

Myth#1: Acupuncture only works for conditions like pain, addiction, and respiratory problems.

This is probably the most common myth about acupuncture. Many people think that it’s used to treat only “traditional” ailments like pain, addiction, and respiratory disorders. While it is true that these conditions are all very common in traditional China, acupuncture is being used for a wide variety of other problems.

It is effective for chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, dementia, insomnia, and even drug addiction! If you go to a legitimate clinic, like our own clinic here in Preston, you’ll see that acupuncture is being used for a lot more than just pain and respiratory problems.

Myth #2: Acupuncture can only be used to treat physical conditions and diseases.

Many people think that acupuncture can only be used to treat physical conditions and diseases. When acupuncture is done properly, it can even treat psychological or addiction problems like alcoholism and drug abuse. This is one of the reasons why Chinese doctors have recommended acupuncture for thousands of years as a good treatment for depression, anxiety disorders, stress, and other psychological problems.

Myth #3: Acupuncture can only be used to treat conditions that Western medicine doesn’t have treatments for.

Acupuncture is so effective because it can tighten up the meridians and reduce the excess qi (chi) in the body, which has two major effects on your body. The first effect is to treat the symptoms you’re experiencing right now.

The second effect is to help strengthen your immune system so you can avoid similar problems in the future. This second effect is a huge benefit for those suffering from chronic illnesses. Many people are now using acupuncture to keep their immune system strong so they don’t fall ill again soon.
