Transcript: n very few cases, the acupuncture needles end up penetrating through the minute blood capillaries. While receiving the treatment, some of the patients might experience a temporary drop in blood pressure levels, i.e. suffer from low blood pressure, along with fatigue. In rare cases, the blood pressure might drop to the point that the patient ends up fainting also. The use of electro-stimulators in acupuncture might result in nerve damage, especially if the electricity is passed on for extended periods of time or is set at a high frequency. It is true? According to Traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating these points can correct imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known as meridians. Scientific research has not found any histological or physiological correlates for qi, meridians and acupuncture points, and some contemporary practitioners needle the body without using the traditional theoretical framework. Acupuncture Contours of acupuncture Conclusion What is Acupuncture? TheWorld Health Organizationand the United States'National Institutes of Health(NIH) have stated that acupuncture can be effective in the treatment of neurological conditions and pain, though these statements have been criticized for bias and a reliance on studies that used poor methodologyReports from the USA'sNational Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), theAmerican Medical Association(AMA) and various USA government reports have studied and commented on the efficacy of acupuncture. What people fink? With this work we learn that : - Acupuncture can be a good fight or a bad fight. - That is very important to some people who believes in this tip therapy. I've developed a beautiful and nurturing relationship with my acupuncturist, Mona Chopra and believe that she always has my best interest at heart when treating me. Over the course of the past four months, and seven sessions, she's provided me various resources like alternatives to coffee drinking and research on meditation including possible locations I might want to consider in New York. She's made recommendations for teas, books, supplements, and a myriad of health related products, some of which I've adopted into my daily routine. How does it work? Acupuncture is an alternative medicine methodology originating inancient China, that treats patients by manipulating thin, solid needles that have been inserted into acupuncture pointsin the skin.

Transcript: Acupuncture is an originally Chinese practice of inserting fine needles through the skin at specific points especially to cure disease or relieve pain (as in surgery) Does getting treated with Acupuncture really releave pain more efficiently then the standard back pain medication? Hypothesis: There will be little to no difference in pain relief experienced by the first two groups while the third group will experience positive results. In our study there are three groups of four people. In each group there will be 2 male and 2 female subjects, all experiencing back pain. Group one will recieve legitamite acupuncture treatment. Group two will be recieving false acupuncture with toothpicks used to administer the treatment instead of needles. The subjects will recieve light pressure with the toothpicks simulating the acupuncture needles. Group three (the control) will be recieving back pain medication in order to verify that the pain experienced by the participants is curable. Acupuncture needles GROUP 2: (Placebo) Toothpicks A substance that has no therapeutic effect, used as a control in testing new drugs. GROUP 3: (Control) Standard back pain medication Confirming Results: If the first and second group felt no relief or had slightly varied results while the third group unanimouslyexperienced relief, the test results would be confirmed Disconfirming results: If all participants in all three groups reported similar results or the third group experienced no results and the first two group experienced successful results, the test would be disconfirmed Acupuncture GROUP 1: By Dakota Graham, Taylor Bradshaw, and Trevor Nunley This test cannot be conducted as a double blind study, due to the fact that the patients must be informed that it is a physical treatment to the body.
