The Various Benefits Of Using Acupuncture Instead Of Traditional Medicine

There was a February 2011 issue of The Female Patient that contained and article saying that acupuncture has become more mainstream in the world of medical treatment. It also stated that there has been an increase in Los Angeles of acupuncturists treating pregnant women who want to limit complications and risks involved with taking pharmaceuticals. Via personal experience and word of mouth many Los Angeles women have found that acupuncture works and that the risks to their well being is limited, even though there aren’t any scientific studies or costly clinical trials to support proof of the benefits. There have however been some studies that show that acupuncture can help with certain pregnancy symptoms such as depression, nausea, vomiting and can also help alleviate back and pelvic pain. Acupuncture has also shown positive results in reducing labor pain, greatly reducing the need for analgesia during labor and helping to induce labor. The risks from acupuncture are minimal acupuncture provides a reliable alternative to using medication, which can cause complications during pregnancy. Keeping this in mind many women are ready to explore acupuncture and experience its benefits, when there are positive results patients will return to acupuncture without scientific support through clinical trials. Patients experience for themselves why acupuncture works and how successful it can be.
