According to a National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), acupuncture is one of the treatments that is on the rise. 

Acupuncture is a form of holistic treatment rooted in ancient tradition that involves the insertion of needles at specific points on the body, also called acupoints. The practice helps improve the flow of Qi or Chi which means life force energy, and treat a variety of ailments, depending on which points are targeted. 

What patients reported

The survey from patients made by NHIS says that patients used acupuncture as a complementary and alternative approach to conventional treatment for a specific health condition, but also used it as a preventative means to promote general health.

The investigator noticed that more people are realizing that it is an effective and low-risk method of treating or controlling chronic conditions. Insurance coverage for acupuncture services and increased awareness of acupuncture may contribute to the popularity and growth of acupuncture use in U.S.A.

How acupuncture helps

Acupuncture helps treat a variety of acute and chronic conditions. It also contributes to general health and wellness.

Acupuncture may be used either as a preventative therapy or to effectively treat a wide range of health conditions, including digestive problems, insomnia and sleep disorders, migraines and other types of headaches, back pain, osteoarthritis, circulatory problems and sciatica, among others. It also helps with issues like mood swings, depression, anxiety and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

The purpose of making documentary videos

Acupuncture has thousands of years history in China. In order to let more Western people getting to know acupuncture, we plan to make a series of documentary videos which called “Acupuncture in U. S.” to show the efficacy of Acupuncture treatment.
