Acupuncture as safe pain treatment option

Acupuncture as safe pain treatment option

In 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that acupuncture could effectively treat 31 conditions and diseases, ranging from simple aches and pains to more complex issues like migraines, as well as low back, neck, and shoulder pain. Results from acupuncture vary. It has been found that for 80% of patients, there is an 85% to 95% reduction in pain after the first round of treatments. For 10% of patients, pain reduction ranges from 20% to 70%, while 5% may respond poorly or not at all. Variables that influence these outcomes include the patient’s general health, age, chronicity of the pain, and current medications.
