Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
Treatments for Denver & Colorado
After many years of growing public acceptance, Western scientists and
researchers have begun to take an interest in evaluating and employing
acupuncture in clinical practice. In 1997, after reviewing the scientific
evidence, the National Institute of Health (NIH) released a consensus
statement concluding that acupuncture is a promising modality for treating
a wide range of conditions including osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, addiction,
stroke recovery, post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting, and
asthma. The NIH noted that one of the advantages of acupuncture was its
substantially lower incidence of side effects than many drug therapies
and medical procedures which sometimes had no more supporting evidence
than that of acupuncture therapy.
The NIH committee concluded that there was sufficient
evidence to support the incorporation of acupuncture therapy into
conventional medicine. These conclusions were consistent with the stance
adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1980 when it issued a
list of forty diseases well suited to treatment by acupuncture.
