Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese technique that has been used for hundreds of years to treat a wide variety of conditions, according to an Ottawa expert.
Acupuncturist Michael Perras, from Oaktree Chiropractic and Acupuncture, told CTV Morning Live acupuncture can be used to treat acute or chronic pain, stress and anxiety.Acupuncture is inserting tiny needles in specific areas or points to improve blood circulation and release pressure, he explains.Perras says the insertion of the needle depends on the person. The acupuncturist does a full assessment and based on the results, determines which areas work on you.
The sheer range of claimed benefits of some forms of TCM can be staggering. In a review of acupuncture alone, the Society for Science-Based Medicine, a US-based pressure group, found practitioners offering treatments for everything from cancer, stroke, Parkinson's, and heart disease, to asthma and autism.
