- Acupuncture
is a component of the health care system of China
that can be traced back for at least 2,500 years.
Since President Richard Nixon's visit to China in
1972, there has been an explosion of interest in the
application of the technique of acupuncture in many
western countries including the United States. Acupuncture
has been used by millions of American patients and
performed by thousands of physicians, dentists, acupuncturists,
and other practitioners for relief or prevention of
pain and for a variety of health conditions. After
reviewing the existing body of knowledge, the U.S.
food and Drug Administration recently removed acupuncture
needles from the category of "experimental medical
devices" and now regulates them just as it does other
devices, such as surgical scalpels and hypodermic
syringes.
In November of 1997, the National Institutes of Health sponsored a
conference to examine and evaluate the many international studies,
trials and research projects conducted on acupuncture. The conference
brought together national and international experts in the fields of
acupuncture, pain, psychology, psychiatry, physical medicine and rehabilitation,
drug abuse, family practice, internal medicine, health policy, epidemiology,
statistics, physiology and biophysics, as well as representatives from
the public.
At the end of the three-day conference, on November 5, an independent
consensus panel weighed the scientific evidence and released a consensus
statement which found among other things, clear benefits for various
post-operative pain and nausea, relief of pain in diverse conditions
such as tennis elbow and fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, and low back
pain. The statement recommended several steps to assure access to qualified
acupuncture professional for appropriate condition: good communication
between physician and acupuncturist, and the extension of coverage
between both private insurers and governmental health plans, including
Medicare and Medicaid.
Dr. Michele Kin uses various techniques of acupuncture to treat those
patients with joint or back pain as an alternative to chiropractic
manipulation or other pain therapies. Like any treatment, not every
patient will respond to acupuncture, but most find significant relief,
often when other therapies have failed.
