What does Acupuncture Treat?
The National Institute of Health (NIH) Supports Acupuncture:
In 1997, the US National Institute of Health issued a report titled: “Acupuncture: The NIH Consensus Statement”. It stated that acupuncture is a very useful method for treating many conditions. It acknowledges the side effects of acupuncture are considerably less adverse than when compared to other medical procedures such as surgery or pharmaceuticals. In addition, the NIH made the recommendation to U.S. insurance companies to provide full coverage of acupuncture treatment for certain conditions. This momentous advancement in the status of acupuncture in the United States has certainly influenced its status elsewhere in the world.
