Acupuncture in rehabilitation
Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine and has great value in rehabilitation therapy. It has great significance for alleviating the neurological deficits of patients and improving their activities of daily living. Acupuncture has a calming effect which is helpful for athletes who may be out of their normal rhythm. It is particularly useful in musculoskeletal injury as a method of analgesia (pain control), to help relax muscles that tighten in response to injury and to strengthen muscles that tend to atrophy during a period of decreased exercise. Acupuncture also increases the quality and speed of tissue healing by stimulating the body’s own tissue repair process. Acupuncture can be used to improve comfort and encourage healing of injuries, wounds, neurologic disorders, nerve paralysis, and laminitis. Acupuncture can also improve gastrointestinal motility in our postoperative colics. Regular palpation of acupuncture points can help to identify early areas of soreness that may develop as sports injury bodies are started back into work. Acupuncture can be used to improve comfort during this stage, to encourage muscle development, and to improve overall performance.

Prevention
Acupuncture is a wonderful tool for treating a number of diseases, also acupuncture could be an even more wonderful tool for preventing them.acupuncture is a wonderful tool for treating a number of diseases, also acupuncture could be an even more wonderful tool for preventing them. Acupuncture can be used to help address many of the lifestyle factors that can influence one’s risk of experiencing disorders. For example we use auricular (ear) acupuncture to help people manage addictions such as overeating/obesity, cigarette smoking and excessive drinking. There are also several auricular points specifically indicated for high blood pressure. While these are examples of specific points for specific indications, a comprehensive acupuncture treatment takes a holistic approach and considers each individual’s constitution and lifestyle choices to manage the underlying cause of disease. This approach then helps manage many risk factors at one time. As traditional Chinese medicine practitioners,we always focus that prevention is at the very root of the particular type of medicine that we devote our practice to,to combine treating disease with enhancing wellness. If we are able to enter that state of mind—or rather state of spirit—surely, we shall see a lot of shifts in our patients
