Acupuncture In Preventative Care

July 20th, 2010

Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture, herbs, dietary therapy, massage, and qigong in preventative care. Practiced in Asia for over 4,000 years, TCM emphasizes the importance of disease prevention in health care rather than the treatment of an existing condition.

Acupuncture has become increasingly utilized by the public as the health benefits of acupuncture have become better understood. Approximately 38 percent of adults use acupuncture and other forms of complementary and alternative medicine for preventative health care and to treat a wide range of conditions, according to recent data from the National Health Interview Survey.

There are three aspects to a traditional Chinese medicine preventative care consultation. The first concerns healthy lifestyle choices and regular exercise. Secondly, dietary modifications and herbs are recommended for optimal health. The third is acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for health maintenance, possibly supplemented with bodywork.

Acupuncture in preventative care:

 

·      Boosts one’s immunity against disease and illness.

 

·      Keeps the body in balance to maintain wellness.

 

·      Aids the body in adapting to seasonal change.

 

·      Tailors treatment to constitution and life stage.

 

There is an increasing demand for a preventative approach to health care and there is a need for more holistic practitioners that use the principles and clinical methods of TCM preventive care to improve their patients’ health. Many medical centers and hospitals now offer acupuncture as a preventive medicine and wellness service in addition to their standard care departments. Acupuncture, herbs and dietary therapy can aid your transition from imbalance to disease prevention and well-being.
