For some people, acupuncture becomes the “last resort” they turn to when traditional medicine can no longer help. But this approach is fundamentally wrong. The best effect with the help of this method of treatment can be achieved precisely at an early stage, when functional disorders in the work of organs have not yet led to organic changes.

Scientists of the East in their treatises argued that all changes in the body, except for trauma, occur after prolonged dysfunction of certain organs. These subtle disturbances, including psychological or emotional changes, can last for years. They are the first signs of disease. And only at this stage, acupuncture will be most effective and can prevent the development of disease and organ damage.
Contraindications to acupuncture
Acupuncture is not a panacea, not a cure for all diseases, but an official method of treatment. Therefore, she has some contraindications.
At high body temperature and any infections, acupuncture is not used. Do not rely on this method as first aid for acute surgical diseases of the abdominal organs, such as appendicitis, acute pancreatitis, as well as for injuries and fractures. In this case, you need to contact a surgeon, and only then, during the recovery period, you can consult an acupuncturist.
During pregnancy, it is better to abstain from this method of treatment, especially 2-3 months before childbirth. In children under 7 years of age and elderly people, the effectiveness of this method of treatment can be reduced several times.
Acupuncture can help with oncology, but there are no "secret miraculous" techniques.
Therapeutic effects of acupuncture in Zen Acupuncture Clinic of Milpitas
The positive effect of acupuncture on the body is no longer disputed by modern medicine. This is confirmed not only by the opinion of the patients themselves, but also by serious clinical studies.
Back in 2006, work was carried out at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in which the role of acupuncture in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, connective tissue, respiratory, nervous and genitourinary systems was investigated. Scientists studied the composition of blood cells, their oxidative capabilities, carried out ultrasound, monitoring of blood pressure and biochemical parameters. According to the results of the study, the effectiveness of acupuncture ranged from 80 to 91% .
Similar works are carried out by other researchers, their results are periodically discussed at international scientific conferences .
However, scientists still have not come to a consensus on how exactly acupuncture triggers recovery processes. There are about 20 theories, each of which was born after certain clinical, biochemical, immunohistochemical studies.
According to the capillary theory, the effect of acupuncture occurs due to the fact that under the action of the needle, the blood flow through the capillaries inside the skin is activated and restored. Accordingly, the exchange of blood between the skin and adjacent tissues is improved. Of the minuses of this theory, it can be noted that it does not explain the positive effect on internal organs.
According to tissue theory, the introduction of a needle into the surface layers of the skin activates the release of biologically active substances from damaged cells and tissues. It is these substances that have a stimulating effect on the body and activate cell division and regeneration, improve the penetration of oxygen into tissues and increase the body's resistance.
