Why Try Acupuncture Before Drugs and Surgery
Stephen Longo LAc Dipl. Ac briefly discusses the benefits of getting acupuncture treatments before drugs, before surgery.
I often find that when people come in for their first acupuncture treatment, we are usually their last resort. They’ve tried drugs, they’ve tried surgery and they are still in chronic pain (whether it be low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain or knee pain). They are still experiencing digestive complaints like reflux, IBS, stomach pain, belching. They are still hounded by relentless anxiety and stress, and they haven’t gotten the results or relief they originally sought. What I want to suggest is beginning to think about coming in for acupuncture first, before drugs and before surgery.
Drugs and surgery are always going to be there as an option for you, Trust me they aren’t going anywhere. With drugs you run the risk of starting with one symptom or complaint, and due to unforeseen side effects, now you have multiple unwanted symptoms (we’ve all see the drug commercials and the lawsuit commercials or know someone) and you are still stuck with the original complaint.
With surgery, you run the risk of creating scars that can cause signaling issues in the piezoelectric structure of the connective tissue (fascia) that runs throughout your body as a huge connected information network. That disruption in signaling can cause seemingly unrelated symptoms in different areas of the body, or they can drain the energy (Qi) acupuncture channel on which that scar sits, making the acupuncture channel not hold the charge.
But not to worry, If you have existing scars from previous surgeries, make an appointment and come in to Humanity Acupuncture here in Stony Brook, NY. We can easily, painlessly, treat those scars and get them communicating much better.
So regardless if you have already tried drugs and surgery, and we are your last resort, we are here for you, we love you and we will do our best for you. And if you are looking to avoid drugs or surgery, come on in for your first appointment and lets get to work and get you back on track…back to living a life with more freedom and vitality!
Many Blessings,
