Châm cứu chữa đau lưng là phương pháp dựa trên nền tảng y học cổ truyền, giúp kiểm soát các cơn đau hiệu quả mà không cần sử dụng thuốc. Việc tác động thêm các huyệt vị thông qua châm cứu cũng giúp thúc đẩy tuần hoàn máu, tăng cường quá trình trao đổi chất và bảo vệ hệ xương khớp khỏi các chấn thương.

I am a US Veteran who gets their care through the VA system. I have recently discovered that the VA rolling out more alternative care initiatives. Offerings will vary with facilities, but seem to include yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, and therapeutic massage. It is called "Whole Health", and you can request a consult through your PCP. If you know a veteran, please pass on this information.

The Washington Post just endorsed fake-ancient pseudoscience.

I got #acupuncture for my #CRPS yesterday and 1. I have tremendous pain relief (yay!) 2. I am completely exhausted (also kinda yay!). 3. I slept all night for the first time in years.

@SrRochardBunson

I'm an acupuncturist and here's what I've learned + observed in clinic. #Acupuncture triggers a normal wound healing process, part of which temporarily increases the permeability of muscle tissue for fluids, white and red blood cells, and all sorts of dissolved nutrients and vitamins.

The goal of this normal process is to temporarily allow increased access for your body's immune system to get in there, kill some germs, carry off / expel junk, and deliver needed supplies for healing.

Acupuncture is just the minimal trigger required to do so. The needles are still so fine that they need to be in the body for the 20 min. Brief application is less effective.

It works best when the original problem is causing muscle knots or spasms without breaking the tissue, causing a local lack of circulation. It's not great at all for bone or cartilage issues, it's okay for nerve and tendon issues.

The needles bring no medicine or nutrition themselves, personal hydration and nutrition still matters.

@AshleyMarineP When my #acupuncture patients have excess sensitivity, it's due to a a long running deficiency that's making pain go up. It can be local to body parts if circulation is poor.

Think of wildfires and the parched plains. Sure, the plains can look fine, but one spark and it all goes up because there's not enough water.

For humans, water + nutrition + vitamins may not be present enough when sensitivity to acupuncture is too high.

Discuss this with your primary doctor, acupuncturist, and support network -- I hope you can find what you're missing and supplement it :)

Reabsorption can be slow, be gentle to yourself!

[[ Last note, discuss this with your acu for sure, there are some techniques which rely on higher stimulation. I personally do not use or prefer them ]]

Totally not unrelated to my last post: I don’t know how #acupuncture actually works, and at this point I do not care. Not having back pain is awesome…

Does it really reset my central nervous system? Is it a placebo? Did I just pay some one to treat me like a pin cushion to satisfy their own sadistic tendencies? Doesn’t matter, no back pain.
