Massachusetts Acupuncture Physicians
When practiced by a licensed, trained acupuncturist, acupuncture is extremely safe. As a system of natural healthcare, acupuncture already has some inherent safeguards. Because the treatment is drug-free, patients do not have to worry about taking several doses of a medication or suffering a possible adverse reaction. Properly administered, acupuncture does no harm. However, there are certain conditions you should notify an acupuncturist about before undergoing treatment. If you have a pacemaker, for instance, you should not receive electro-acupuncture due to the possibility of electromagnetic interference with the pacemaker. Similarly, if you have a tendency to bleed or bruise easily, or if you are a hemophiliac, you may want to consider a different type of care. In the late 1970s, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the ability of acupuncture and Oriental medicine to treat nearly four dozen common ailments including: neuromusculoskeletal conditions (such as arthritis, neuralgia, insomnia, dizziness, and neck/shoulder pain), emotional and psychological disorders (such as depression and anxiety), circulatory disorders (such as hypertension, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis and anemia), addictions (to alcohol, nicotine and other drugs), respiratory disorders (such as emphysema, sinusitis, allergies and bronchitis) and gastrointestinal conditions (such as food allergies, ulcers, chronic diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, intestinal weakness, anorexia and gastritis).

Acupuncture and Associated Therapies, P.C.
Acupuncturist Arlene Myers understands stress. After eight years as a freelance woven fabric designer in New York City, in the high-pressure fashion industry, she was facing some major health problems. "I loved the work, but not the industry, and my health really suffered as a result of all the pressure," she says. Her problems included chronic urinary tract infections, which were quite severe. "And there was absolutely no way that Western medicine was able to prevent them," explains Myers. "The constant prescribing of antibiotics just made me sicker and sicker. I discovered Oriental medicine while looking for a cure for my own problems." Her search brought her to Shiatsu, an Asian practice using finger pressure on points of the body. She learned that balancing her body energies could help in the way her body processed stress, and that it was the stress, not bacteria, that was at the root of her problem.

Acupuncture & Chiropractic Clinic, LLC.
Acupuncture is an important branch of traditional Oriental medicine, which has a continuous 3,000-year history of development and refinement. It is based on the theory that there is energy, called chi or qi, flowing through your body. Chi is thought to flow along energy pathways called meridians. If the flow of chi is blocked or unbalanced at any point on a pathway, theoretically it may result in illness. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe acupuncture unblocks and balances the flow of chi to restore health.
