Rooted in the study of nature, acupuncture is an organized yet evolving system of diagnosis and treatment. The practice of acupuncture originated in China, spread throughout the world, and has stood the test of time – no less than 2,000 years. In 1996, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration formally codified the acupuncture needle as a medical device.
The Science of Acupuncture
The scientific understanding of the mechanism behind acupuncture’s therapeutic action is still somewhat elusive but appears to involve connective tissue, muscles and the nervous system.1 Imaging studies have found that areas on the body known as acupuncture points and meridians correlate with highly vascularized areas2,3,4 and connective tissue planes5 providing evidence to support acupuncture theory. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions that affect the body, mind and spirit/emotion.6
“Numerous examples reveal that the regulatory action of acupuncture is bi-directional. Acupuncture lowers the blood pressure in patients with hypertension and elevates it in patients with hypotension; increases gastric secretion in patients with hypoacidity, and decreases it in patients with hyperacidity…”6
