A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, HI
An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the body’s immune system attacks itself. The function of the immune system is to protect the body from foreign pathogenic factors such as bacterial infections and viruses. A healthy immune system can distinguish between pathogens and its own healthy cells, but in an autoimmune disease the body mistakes its healthy cells and tissues for pathogens and attacks them.
Traditional Western medicine has made significant strides, but holistic avenues of treatment are always worth exploring. Acupuncture, for instance – a practice that has been integral to traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,500 years – is increasingly being used in this way to treat autoimmune diseases.
Acupuncture for Autoimmune Disorders – shown to reduce inflammation by promoting the release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors
Another benefit of acupuncture treatment for autoimmune disorders is treating its pain which affects many of its patients. Studies suggest that acupuncture releases endorphins, the body’s feel-good hormones, which may limit the body’s response to pain. In addition to treating the symptoms of autoimmune conditions, acupuncture and Chinese medicine help to address the underlying cause of the disease.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat autoimmune conditions.
Acupuncture can help regulate the immune system, bringing the immune response back into balance. It also works to reduce systemic inflammation, which may be contributing to heightened autoimmune symptoms. An autoimmune condition suggests that there is either an excess or deficiency within the body and Chinese medicine can treat this imbalance, providing a specific holistic diagnosis that will address the root condition rather than just the physical signs and symptoms.
Acupuncture is regularly leveraged to provide relief for many diseases, including, but not limited to:
Fibromyalgia
A chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, tenderness, and fatigue. The exact cause is unknown, but it’s believed to involve a variety of genetic and environmental factors. It stands as one of the foremost autoimmune conditions that acupuncturists see patients for.
Lupus and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Patients with lupus have reported decreased joint pain and improved energy levels after undergoing acupuncture sessions. Studies have also shown that acupuncture can help alleviate some of the symptoms of MS, including muscle spasms, pain, and fatigue.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Many RA patients turn to acupuncture to help manage pain, with some noting a significant reduction in pain levels post-treatment.
While acupuncture is not a cure for autoimmune diseases, it offers a holistic approach to managing the symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients. Given the potential benefits and the minimal side effects, acupuncture is worth considering as a supplementary treatment alongside conventional therapies.
