Our Services
Acupuncture at the Osher Clinical Center
Acupuncture is an ancient medical art that treats diseases and pain through the shallow insertion and manipulation of very fine, sterile needles into specified points on the human body. It is a safe, painless procedure that has been practiced in the East for more than 5,000 years, and now more and more Americans are considering acupuncture as a complement to other conventional medical treatments.
What is acupuncture used to treat?
Acupuncturists at the Osher Clinical Center for Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies can help treat a wide variety of medical conditions, including:
mood disorders
addictions
stress
headaches
arthritis
insomnia
back pain
nervous system and muscular disorders
gastrointestinal disorders
immune and auto-immune disorders
respiratory disorders
gynecological disorders
Depending on the situation, acupuncture can be effective enough to reduce or even eliminate the need for some medications and some surgical procedures. A patient is never advised to stop a medication or postpone surgery, however, without consulting the appropriate physician.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most patients barely feel the initial insertion, and, after the needles are in place, patients may feel only a slight pressure sensation.
Improper placement of acupuncture needles, however, can cause pain. That is why it is important to ensure that you seek treatment from qualified acupuncture practitioners, such as the licensed acupuncturists at the Osher Center.
The acupuncturist may also use other gentle techniques during the treatment:
moxibustion - heating acupuncture needles with dried herb sticks to activate and warm the acupuncture point
acupressure - light-touch massage therapy
laser acupuncture - stimulation with a laser beam instead of a needle
How effective is acupuncture?
National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical studies show that acupuncture - by itself, or in combination with conventional therapies - is an effective treatment for nausea caused by surgical anesthesia and cancer chemotherapy, dental pain after surgery, addiction, headaches, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma, and to assist in stroke rehabilitation. Other reported benefits for acupuncture continue to be actively researched.
What is the length of an acupuncture treatment?
Sessions can take between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on the specific condition. Benefits may emerge after only one session or may take several sessions, again, depending on the problem. We can better assess this once we have met with you in person.
