If you are suffering from stress, any of the chronic illnesses, sports injuries and infertility, you may want to set an appointment with an acupuncture Atlanta practitioner. Acupuncture has been known for centuries to help treat various ailments, narcotic addiction and alcoholism. It has gained such wide acceptance as an effective method of treating diseases in the west, that even some health insurance plans have included acupuncture Atlanta coverage in their policies.

When you come for an appointment, an acupuncturist will typically ask about your main symptoms. Whether practicing acupuncture Atlanta, or acupuncture Orlando, the acupuncturist will proceed to check your tongue, including the fur, and will feel your pulses on the radial arteries of both wrists. Then the acupuncturist will require you to lie in the supine position on a treatment table, and will choose between one and eight points to be needled.

Acupuncture Atlanta practitioners may use acupuncture alone, or they will ask you to take some conventional and herbal medications in addition to acupuncture treatment. You may also be offered non-narcotic medications along with lifestyle and nutrition counseling. Some acupuncture Atlanta clinics may have medical doctors and nutritionists in their staff. If you have not tried acupuncture before, or you are skeptical with the efficacy of the treatment, you may be more at ease to deal with acupuncturists who have backgrounds in conventional medicine and trained in acupuncture schools.

Nonetheless, all acupuncture Atlanta practitioners are required to accomplish a certain number of training hours, or attend basic acupuncture courses from an accredited acupuncture school before they will be allowed to practice this alternative treatment. The government has also imposed a strict regulation requiring every practitioner to use only sterilized and disposable needles on their patients. This is to ensure that there is absolutely no possibility of cross-infection among patients of the acupuncture Atlanta clinics.
