Struggling with a chronic condition is very demoralizing, especially if you haven’t found the right treatment for you. You may be on the brink of losing hope, and trying yet another medication might seem hopeless –– but don’t call it quits without first trying acupuncture. This form of alternative medicine has a proven record of accomplishing what traditional medicine often fails to do. And if you live anywhere near Anaheim, California, there is only one practitioner you should definitely see: Greg Maruki Acupuncture.
The basics of acupuncture
Acupuncture is probably the most well-known type of alternative medication. You’re probably heard or seen the practice in action: tiny needles inserted throughout the muscle to stimulate oxygen flow. As more oxygen circulates our blood stream, we begin reaping benefits that include healing properties for conditions such as high blood pressure, arthritis, migraines, insomnia, strokes, and many others.
Why you should see a specialist
You wouldn’t trust just about anyone to poke you with needles, would you? Acupuncture is no different. In fact, just people something is an alternative medicine does not mean anyone can or should practice it. There is an art and skill to alternative medicine not too different from more traditional forms of healing –– when you go see your primary care provider, you trust they know what they’re doing.
A specialist will know how to apply the acupuncture needles to deliver the results you seek and without causing extreme discomfort. In addition, a specialist will be able to come up with a treatment plan tailored around your specific needs.
Other benefits of acupuncture
Here at Greg Maruki Acupuncture, we believe acupuncture is a practice that should be incorporated into everyday life even if you don’t have any pressing health concerns. Think of it like doing yoga or pilates: acupuncture can be something that helps you destress and relax, which can also have a preventive effect when it comes to certain health conditions.
In addition, acupuncture is a minimally-invasive procedure that tends to not have any side effects or lasting scars. When done right, you really have nothing to lose except discomfort and illness.
