Acupuncture is an ancient technique that has been demonstrated to help with chronic pain, weight loss, ear problems, addictions, nausea, digestive problems and female disorders. Although not a magic fix-all, it works very well for those things it works well for. It can work even better when combined with chiropractic care or other therapies.

This method works by adjusting the natural flow of chi or energy throughout the body through the application of a small-sized needle (smaller than a hypodermic needle) to very specific points across the body. The idea is that the placement of these needles unblocks the flow of energy so that overall balance can be restored. It feel good as well (most patients do not feel the needles being inserted), and it can boost and balance the mood while reducing stress.

Although we do not know why acupuncture works, we do know that it works. Again, it is often best combined with other therapies. Finding a Nashville chiropractor who also offers acupuncture means you can get both of these natural pain relief solutions under one roof without having to search for another therapist. Acupuncturists do a full course of training to do what they do - this is not some "quack" solution that involves somebody sticking needles in you randomly.

If you are experiencing such complaints as chronic headaches or back pain, fibromyalgia, nausea from chemotherapy or menstrual issues, then acupuncture may help you. It is an easy and safe pain solution well worth trying before moving on to drugs or more invasive therapies.

While acupuncture can sometimes have side effects, your provider will use disposable, sterile needles to prevent infection. (During the later stages of pregnancy acupuncture is contraindicated given that it can cause early labor).

Connect with a reputable acupuncturist today, preferably one who works in a chiropractic setting, so you can learn more about how chiropractic care and the services of an acupuncturist can improve your life and alleviate your discomfort.
