NEW HAMBURG MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a 2000-year-old Chinese treatment in which needles are inserted into specific points on the body. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists many different conditions that can legitimately be treated by acupuncture. There are many successful applications of acupuncture for acute and chronic muscle and joint pain. These include but are not limited to:

• Acute sprains and strains
• Muscle pain
• Arthritic pain
• Neck and lower back pain
• Shoulder pain
• Tennis elbow
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Hip and knee pain
• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendonitis
• Migraine and tension headaches
• Osteoarthritis and bursitis

Acupuncture may also be of help as a supplementary treatment for secondary problems arising from muscle and joint pain such as decreased energy, stress, and insomnia.

The term "Medical Acupuncture" refers to acupuncture performed by a licensed health care professional who has training in the health sciences. Practitioners of Medical Acupuncture derive the concepts of disease, dysfunction, and healing from the western biomedical understanding of pathology, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry.

Many Extended Health Care insurance policies cover chiropractic care. This would also include acupuncture services which would be billed under the chiropractic coverage umbrella.
