Acupuncture
Acupuncture
According to WebMD " 'Acupuncture' is very effective in treating several diseases and conditions. Acupuncture is most effective at treating chronic pain, such as headaches; menstrual cramps; and low back, neck, or muscle pain. It can also be used to treat arthritis, facial pain, pain from shingles, and spastic colon and colitis conditions.
Acupuncture has also been successful in treating obesity and addictions such as nicotine or drugs. Acupuncture also can improve the functioning of the immune system (the body's defense system against diseases)."
Nausea
Nausea
In one of the best studies, Dr. Tong J. Gan, director of clinical research in anesthesiology at Duke University Medical Center, showed last year that acupuncture on the wrist point was "as good as giving ondansetron," an anti-nausea drug, for postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Infertility
Infertility
A landmark study found that acupuncture improved pregnancy success rates by 50% in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization. According to the study published in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility: Acupuncture dramatically improves the chances of becoming pregnant when used in conjunction with other assisted reproductive techniques. Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York reviewed the study and concluded that acupuncture helps to:
Increase blood flow to the uterus, which improves the chances of an ovum implantation on the uterine wall
Reduce anxiety, stress, and the hormone that are secreted during stressful situations that can significantly decrease fertility
Normalize hormone and endocrine systems that regulate ovulation, especially in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
Positively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which plays a key role in fertility
Regulate menstrual cycle
In a study published in Human Reproductive Journal, an ultrasound was used to evaluate the blood flow to the uterus during acupuncture treatments. The study found that blood flow does in fact increase during treatment.
Headaches
Headaches
“Cervical spine manipulation was associated with significant improvement in headache outcomes in trials involving patients with neck pain and/or neck dysfunction and headache.” - Duke Evidence Report, McCrory, Penzlen, Hasselblad, Gray (2001)
“The results of this study show that spinal manipulative therapy is an effective treatment for tension headaches...Four weeks after cessation of treatment...the patients who received spinal manipulative therapy experienced a sustained therapeutic benefit in all major outcomes in contrast to the patients that received amitriptyline therapy, who reverted to baseline values.” - Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Boline et al. (1995)
Vision
Vision
The LA Times stated that at UC Irvine, researchers have shown that when a needle is placed in a point on the side of the foot that Chinese theorists associate with vision, the visual cortex in the brain "lights up" on fMRI, or functional magnetic resonance imaging scans, though the cause and effect are not totally clear to the individuals conducting the research.
Long Term - Cost Effective Pain Management
Long Term - Cost Effective Pain Management
“The overwhelming body of evidence” shows that chiropractic management of low-back pain is more cost-effective than medical management, and that “many medical therapies are of questionable validity or are clearly inadequate.” - The Manga Report (1993)
First contact chiropractic care for common low back conditions costs substantially less than traditional medical treatment and “deserves careful consideration” by managed care executives concerned with controlling health care spending. Medical Care, Stano and Smith (1996)
Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure
The University of Chicago Medical Center published a study that reported “…individuals with a misaligned Atlas vertebra (located high in the neck) and high blood pressure showed that after a one-time specialized chiropractic adjustment, blood pressure decreased significantly. The decrease was equal to taking two blood-pressure drugs at once.” The results are published in the online March 2 issue of the Journal of Human Hypertension.
Quality of Life
Quality of Life
1. Scientific research published in The British Medical Journal concluded, “long term chiropractic care has a direct effect on the quality of life.” British Medical Journal. August 1996
Research from Italy in 1987 concluded, “A most meaningful indicator of the effectiveness of chiropractic is the improvement is produces in the quality of life, not only because of its curative effect but also thanks to its preventative and rehabilitative functions.”
Benefits the Elderly
Benefits the Elderly
“[Elderly] chiropractic users were less likely to have been hospitalized, less likely to have used a nursing home, more likely to report a better health status, more likely to exercise vigorously, and more likely to be mobile in the community. In addition, they were less likely to use prescription drugs.”
- Topics in Clinical Chiropractic, Coulter et al. (1996)
