Balance acupuncture therapy is a treatment method based on the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. It aims to regulate the balance of qi and blood by stimulating specific acupoints on the body, thereby treating various diseases. Specifically, this therapy can be used for:
1. Pain-related disorders: such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, arthritis, etc. By stimulating corresponding acupoints, it unblocks meridians, relaxes muscles, and relieves pain.
2. Nervous system disorders: particularly effective for conditions like hemiplegia and post-stroke sequelae. It helps restore physiological functions of organs by regulating the balance of the central nervous system in the brain.
3. Other conditions: balance acupuncture therapy also shows certain therapeutic effects on digestive system disorders (such as gastritis, constipation) and respiratory system disorders (such as asthma, bronchitis).
Please note that balance acupuncture therapy is not suitable for everyone. Special populations such as pregnant women and patients with epilepsy should avoid its use. Consult a physician or qualified medical institution before use.
