Acupuncture Franklin
For some Acupuncture is a new unknown method of treating pain and other disorders. For others, Acupuncture is a way of life! In Franklin, it seems that many people have tried Acupuncture or at least heard of it. Most individuals are very curious about it. Medical Doctors are beginning to suggest Acupuncture for pain relief, and sports injuries. Many people do not realize that Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine go hand in hand. Chinese Medicine is a full medical modality, as is Western Medicine. Acupuncturists during school are required to learn both Eastern and Western Medicine. In addition to many classes in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology, there are classes in Nutrition, Pharmacology, Gynecology, Anatomy, Internal Medicine and Pathology.
Due to this extensive education which is typically 4 years of graduate school, at the schools with the highest hourly requirements, Acupuncturists are able to read lab exams, diagnose, treat and prescribe herbal remedies. Acupuncture does not just treat pain. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine treat everything that a Western Doctor would treat, but treats it naturally. Some common ailments that Acupuncture treats are:
Insomnia
Depression
Anxiety
Weight Loss
PTSD
Addiction
Digestion Problems
Infertility/Fertility
Stress
Fatigue
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue
…and more!
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are becoming so popular because they are effective and they treat illness at the root. The Chinese Herbs are powerful remedies that are medication for different ailments, as compared to specific pharmaceutical drugs. The herbs typically do not have side effects so they are safe for long term usage and are not harmful to the liver, kidneys and body.
