Acupuncture
What is the relationship between Acupuncture and conventional medical care?
Despite the differences in the world view of Oriental and convention medicine, many physicians frequently refer their patients to acupuncture. Controlled clinical studies that validate acupuncture have been published in various mainstream medicals journals, including Lancet, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and the Journal of Internal Medicine.
While acupuncture is concerned with the whole person and addresses itself to many levels of functioning, it is also a particular form of treatment with its own limitation. It needs to be used in conjunction with health-promoting attitudes and behaviors. Our office cooperates with other health care professionals and does not recommend altering medication or other therapies without consulting your personal physician or provider.
