Does acupuncture work the same for everybody? |
Does acupuncture work the same for everybody? Normal results from acupuncture are relief of pain and/or improvement of the condition being treated. As is true with other forms of medical treatment, a minority of patients do not respond to acupuncture. The reasons for nonresponsiveness are not known at the present stage of research. A standard acupuncture treatment takes between 45 minutes to an hour and costs between $40 and $100, although initial appointments often cost more. Chronic conditions usually require 10 treatment sessions, but acute conditions or minor illnesses may require only one or two visits. Follow-up visits are often scheduled for patients with chronic pain. As of 2000, about 70鈥?0% of health insurers in the United States reimbursed patients for acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture does not work the same for everybody. Neither does any other medication for that matter. Even the same person will react differently on different days. Acupuncture is especially person-related, because it treats body and mind in a homeostatic - i.e. stabilising - fashion. |
