Acupuncture Treatment in Orange City, FL Offers Some Amazing Benefits

Despite what many people may believe acupuncture has become a widely accepted form of alternative treatment for many patients in Orange City, FL suffering from chronic pain and other ailments with some very impressive benefits.  While it is understandable that some patients may be a bit squeamish at the thought of needles penetrating the skin, it’s not what they think.

The acupuncture needles are extremely fine and thin and just barely touch the upper dermal layer of the skin. Since the needles are not inserted deep into the skin (as is the case with a shot or having blood drawn), it feels more like a pin prick. Depending on the condition being treated the needles remain in place anywhere from five to thirty minutes. Some symptoms and conditions require multiple visits. Also, Florida law requires all Acupuncturists practicing in the state to maintain a valid license with the Florida Board of Acupuncture.

Skilled acupuncturists know precisely which pressure points will provide the patient with the most benefit for the desired treatment, especially with chronic pain. For instance, allergy sufferers may benefit from having to rely less on antihistamines as acupuncture may reduce allergy symptoms. Some individuals have noticed a decrease in the number of migraine episodes with regular acupuncture treatment.

In addition, there have been controlled clinical studies that have indicated acupuncture as an effective treatment option for a number of conditions including depression, facial pain, hypertension, knee, neck and back pain and stroke, to name a few.

Voted “Best of the West” in 2011, Jordan Health Clinic and Day Spa has helped many patients in the Orange City and Central Florida area get relief from a variety of symptoms and conditions with acupuncture treatment. To schedule an appointment, contact us at (386) 736-0465 or visit us online today!
