Acupuncture is effective for chronic pain

 For those with chronic health conditions, acupuncture can provide relief, especially when other options are ineffective or limited. Conventional medicine is turning to acupuncture for help. For example, the following article:

Rush University Medical Center News Release

states, "The lack of options for pain management in children has been reported as one of the most difficult aspects of providing care to pediatric patients.  Research indicates that up to 70 percent of pediatric patients experience pain and those with chronic illnesses often do not have adequate relief or prevention of pain."

"Doctors at Rush University Medical Center are offering pediatric patients diagnosed with chronic illnesses acupuncture therapy to help ease the pain and negative side effects like nausea, fatigue, and vomiting caused by chronic health conditions and intensive treatments."

It is refreshing to see Western medical doctors incorporate acupuncture into their practice. For all in the healing profession, the patient's wellness comes first.
