The University of Louisville has launched acupuncture treatment to help treat chronic conditions in older adults. On top of that, they offer specialty services for caregivers to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.
The last few months have been some of the toughest a caregiver can experience. Acupuncture can help. You can read more here: http://www.uoflnews.com/post/uofltoday/uofl-trager-institute-launch-acupuncture-services-to-address-wellbeing-of-older-adults-caregivers/
Do you know what your Achilles Heel is? It may literally be your Achilles. When you have problems, you’ll know it. The telltale sign is pain along the back of your tendon, close to your heel. It’s a tricky injury and will almost certainly restrict your mobility.
Acupuncture is an effective treatment that can reduce swelling and heal the damaged tendons. You can also do a few things on your own like stretching. For more info, check out our blog: https://scacupuncture.com/news/achilles-tendinitis/

In a recent study, patients who were given acupuncture prior to having surgery needed less morphine to manage their pain.
Those who were given acupuncture needed about three times less morphine than those who did not receive acupuncture. They also were less anxious after the surgery.
There was also less of a need for opioids. In the 24 hours after surgery, the control (those who didn’t receive acupuncture) needed twice the dosage of opioids than those who received acupuncture.
