Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a natural form of energy medicine. It uses a sterilized, hair-thin needle which is inserted at specific points on the body. This proven method is effective in the treatment of specific health ailments as well as the balancing the energies of the body to achieve optimal well-being. Recently, electromagnetic research has confirmed the existence of acupoint locations and their meridian pathways. The World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends acupuncture for more than 40 conditions from pain to allergies. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a Consensus Statement on Acupuncture stating that the benefits of acupuncture for certain pain conditions are quite effective. They also cite that the incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower compared to many medications or other accepted medical procedures used for the treatment of similar conditions.

The following statements are excerpts from the World Health Organizations:

"Generally speaking, acupuncture treatment is safe if it is performed properly by a well-trained practitioner. Unlike many drugs, it is non-toxic, and adverse reactions are minimal. This is probably one of the chief reasons why acupuncture is so popular in the treatment of chronic pain in many countries." "Over its 2500 years of development, a wealth of experience has accumulated in the practice of acupuncture, attesting to the wide range of diseases and conditions that can be effectively treated with this approach." "The advantages of acupuncture are that it is simple, convenient, and has few contraindications."
