The World Health Organization lists 40 medical conditions that acupuncture may help, including headaches, pain relief, carpal tunnel, sciatica, back pain, infertility, arthritis, nausea, menstrual and menopause issues. And, not only is acupuncture safe, it's also 100 percent natural with minimal to no side effects. Here are some other reasons to try acupuncture:
Many patients report no pain with treatments.
It is drug-free.
It has been proven to be effective.
Treatments prior to and immediately following in-vitro fertilization procedures have led to improved success rates.
Treatments are specific and unique to each patient.
Multiple issues can be addressed simultaneously. For instance, if someone has neck pain causing insomnia, irritability and headaches, acupuncture can help all of those simultaneously.
