Acupuncture Evidence-based healing: acupuncture.
Another important aspect of integrative medicine is its foundation in quality,
evidence-based science. Landmark studies on the effectiveness of acupuncture in the late 1990s resulted in data so compelling that a consensus panel of The National Institutes of Health issued a statement that concluded:
"There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture's value to expand its use into conventional medicine and to encourage further studies of
its physiology and clinical value." That's big news and a positive indication that Western medicine is recognizing the value of this
important healing technique. Dr. Sheng has been immersed in the philosophy and practice of acupuncture all his professional life. It's part of his family's culture, and it's always been an important part of the
traditional Western medical care he provides. What acupuncture can do for you.
Acupuncture works with the natural energy and healing power present in all of us. It's been shown to relieve pain, aid in weight loss and reduce the symptoms of all
kinds of ailments. Acupuncture is especially helpful for combating the nausea and other troubling effects of cancer treatment, and Dr. Sheng has long used it in caring for his own cancer patients. Among the many other beneficial uses for acupuncture are:

already living a healthy lifestyle, acupuncture is a highly effective way to achieve a deeper sense of well-being that can carry you through every day, feeling your best in body and mind. Is acupuncture safe? How does it feel?
You'll be glad
to know that Dr. Sheng, who has extensive training with acupuncture masters from all over the world, strictly follows FDA safety guidelines. The tiny needles he uses are sterile and one-use only, to minimize any chance
for infection. The sensation of acupuncture is different for everyone. However, the needles are so tiny (about the width of a human
hair), most people say they can barely feel them being inserted. While the needles are in place at the therapeutic points throughout your body, you'll relax, listen to soothing music if you like or even take a nap. Many
people who undergo acupuncture describe being deeply relaxed during the treatment and calmed and reenergized afterward. Dr. Sheng will always make sure you know exactly what to expect and how to prepare to get maximum
benefit from your treatment. |
