    where thin needles are inserted through a skin,

    acupuncture can help get relieve pain.
    Acupuncture is quite popular and is used for a
    variety of complaints.
  • However, NCCIH or the National Center for
    Complementary and Integrative Health suggests
    that there is not sufficient evidence about its
    effectiveness in the areas that doesnt involve
    pain management.

  • Scientifically, it isnt very clear how
    acupuncture works, but it does work nonetheless.
  • The acupuncture clinic Las Vegas claims that it
    works simply by balancing vital-energy in the
    body, while there are others who claim it to have
    a neurological effect. Acupuncture remains to be
    controversial among the scientists and western
    medical doctors.

How does acupuncture work?
  • In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed
    that good health results from a harmonious
    balance of complementary extremes yin and yang-
    also known as qi, that is pronounced chi.
  • Health conditions and illnesses is said to occur
    as a result of imbalances of this life forces.
  • It is said that qi flows through pathways or
    meridian in our body. These energy flows and
    meridians are accessible, with acupuncture,
    techniques through the 350 points in the human
    body.

  • By inserting needles through the skin in these
    specific points with the appropriate combinations
    brings about a balance in life forces and get the
    flow of energy back.
  • While there is limited proof as to acupuncture
    points or meridians exist, and also it is hard to
    actually prove they do or do not, there are a
    number of studies that suggest that acupuncture
    does work for certain conditions.
  • Many experts and holistic doctors Las Vegas have
    already used neuroscience to proof and explain
    acupuncture.

  • They suggest acupuncture points to be points
    where the nerves, connective tissues and muscles
    can be stimulated using acupuncture.
  • This form of stimulation with acupuncture
    techniques increases blood flow, and at the same
    time it triggers the activities of a persons
    natural pain-killers.

  • Pertaining to the invasive nature in which
    acupuncture is used, it remains to be a difficult
    task to set-up investigations on it using the
    proper scientific controls.
  • When it comes to clinical studies, the control
    group need to undergo placebo, or sham
    treatments, so as to compare results with the
    genuine acupuncture.
  • While some studies suggest that acupuncture
    offers results similar to that of placebo, while
    many other indicate that acupuncture offers some
    real benefits to the patients.
  • The uses of acupuncture, according to
    the naturopathic physician Las Vegas, is
    wide-ranging.
