Today’s post is specifically for those of you with some apprehension around giving acupuncture a try. This effective treatment may seem intimidating but we’re sure that once you get past the first session, you will become hooked!
Acupuncture treats a number of conditions including arthritis, depression, insomnia, migraines, stress, fatigue and more. Given that a vast amount of the population likely suffers from a combination of these problems, it’s worth considering this option to alleviate any negative symptoms you may be experiencing. Today we’re going to break down three of the biggest myths surrounding acupuncture:
- Acupuncture is not safe. First and foremost, it’s important to ensure that your treatments are left in the hands of a qualified, certified and recognized practitioner. Those trained to perform this service are specifically trained to determine whether it is or is not safe to perform on a patient based on the conditions they present with, as well as how many needles to use, where to use them and the depth of use.
- Acupuncture is not sanitary. Any facility offering acupuncture must ensure that all equipment goes through a very specific sterilization treatment to ensure proper hygiene and the area of needle use is always sterilized before the treatment begins.
- Acupuncture is limited use. Whether you suffer from sports injuries, chronic pain or even light muscle tension, acupuncture offers the ultimate benefit of relief.
