Finding A Good Acupuncturist Is Not Difficult Using The Internet

By Lenny Bernofski


Finding a good acupuncturist is not difficult because most acupuncturists advertise in the phone directory or on the internet. Some people would rather use the internet while some would rather use the old fashioned yellow pages to find a doctor who practices acupuncture which is why some doctors advertise both on line and in the phone book. Acupuncture has been practiced for centuries in Asia but is relatively new in the West.

Acupuncture is the medical practice of inserting needles to specific pressure points in the body in order to help create and promote circulation and increase overall wellness. It is thought that acupuncture helps to release stagnation where there is a body deficiency. Disease, according to the study of acupuncture, is caused an imbalanced of what is referred to as the yin and yang.

Acupuncture is believed to create a positive effect on the immune system and believed to stimulate hormones and gastric secretion. Those who practice acupuncture believe that acupuncture can lower high blood pressure while stimulating the production of red blood cells. Acupuncturists believe that the body operates on electric impulses which can be manipulated by the placement of thin needles.

Some believe that acupuncture can actually tap into electromagnetic fields and create a change in the flow. Changing the body's response to the electromagnetic field can lead, some believe, to a more balanced yin and yang and relief from a disease or an illness. Acupuncturist therapy is classified as alternative medicine.

Acupuncture is an alternative to traditional medicine which relies to a large extent on man made medication such as pain relief pills. Pain killers can lead to side effects including dizziness and nausea. Alternative medical procedures are becoming more popular with people who are searching for alternatives to medications and to invasive surgical procedures.

When looking for an acupuncturist ask the doctor about his qualifications, how long he has practiced, and if acupuncture is his primary practice. Ask the doctor what types of ailments his treatments are intended to heal or improve. Finding a good acupuncturist should not be a difficult task but it is important to ask the proper questions before choosing a particular doctor.
