What is Acupuncture?

Do you find yourself dealing with chronic pains? You may need to receive Acupuncture in St. James from Dr. Raymond Semente.  Acupuncture is recognized as a holistic approach to treating a wide variety of conditions. The process of performing acupuncture consists of very thin needles being inserted into the skin at specific locations on the body. Acupuncture is relatively painless, with minimal risks and side effects. You may feel a slight stinging sensation when the needle is first inserted, but you also may feel nothing at all as the needles are extremely thin. The main purpose of acupuncture is to activate the body’s self-healing mechanism, rather than using medications that may be unnecessary and bring about unwanted side effects. It is used as a more natural form of treating many different conditions and ailments. However, here at the office of Dr. Raymond Semente, we focus on utilizing acupuncture for treating chronic pain. If you are looking for acupuncture in St. James for your chronic pain, reach out to us today! 

 

What are the benefits? 

 

Acupuncture works to relieve the stress and discomfort associated with a wide variety of conditions and illnesses. Among the many conditions that can benefit from acupuncture treatments are:

 

Chronic Pain: Acupuncture has been shown to greatly reduce chronic pain in many patients. Specifically, it has been shown to have positive effects on shoulder pain, migraines, back and neck pain, and osteoarthritis. 

 

Fertility: Acupuncture works to relieve the stress experienced by women trying to get pregnant and undergoing fertility treatments. Additionally, it promotes blood flow to the uterus, creating more access to eggs, working to increase the likelihood of getting pregnant. 

 

Cancer: For cancer patients, acupuncture can be paired with normal chemotherapy or radiation treatments to lessen the negative effects and discomfort often associated with these treatment methods.

 

Menstrual Cramps: For women who suffer from extremely painful periods, acupuncture is beneficial in relieving some of the pain brought on by cramps.

 

Although acupuncture has been proven to be beneficial in many cases, it may not be for everyone. Some may feel energized or relaxed following an acupuncture treatment, while others may feel no changes at all. If you do not see any relief for your pain or other symptoms within a couple of weeks, acupuncture may not be the treatment for you.
