Acupuncture is an effective form of alternative medical treatment. It has been used in East Asian medical practices for hundreds of years. Now we bring this treatment philosophy to South Florida at Primary Medical Care Center.
The purpose of acupuncture is to relieve anxiety, swelling, sleep issues, neck pains, nausea, muscle tension, and other stress-related problems throughout the body. The acupuncturist inserts a series of thin needles into specific points of the patient’s body.
After the needles are inserted into these points, they will cause a natural biochemical reaction to stimulate the brain, muscles, and spinal cord. The entire central nervous system produces healing chemicals that circulate throughout the rest of the body. It is believed to create both emotional and physical benefits for the patient.
Acupuncture is not an official form of medicine in the western world. However, a growing number of seniors are choosing acupuncture as a healthier treatment alternative for their pains and stresses. They want to reduce their intake of prescription medications and avoid the side effects associated with them.
The great thing about acupuncture is that it has no real side effects. You just need to receive the treatment from an experienced and professional acupuncturist. They understand how and where to insert the needles without damaging the nerves.
Primary Medical Center has licensed and highly skilled acupuncturists ready to serve all South Florida seniors. If you’d like to make an appointment for a consultation, call (305) 751-1500 or use our contact form here to find out more information.
