Acupuncture Limits
Oriental Medicine and acupuncture are powerful healing tools, but they are not panaceas nor the solution to every health care problem.
Both Western and Oriental Medicine have their respective strengths and weaknesses, which is why in modern China, the two systems are used together.
When appropriately combined, the patient is well served.
Generally speaking, acute, life threatening conditions are best handled by Western medical doctors.
Routine health problems and chronic conditions, for which drug therapy and surgery have not been effective,
often benefit from Acupuncture / Oriental Medicine.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners in 1996.
The FDA requires that sterile, nontoxic needles be used and that they be labeled for single use by qualified practitioners only.
