Acupuncture is an effective treatment for chronic headaches (continued)posted on 20 December 2008 | posted in Acupuncture | (0) Comments
Dr Mike said: "It is very positive for us. This should help to lift acupuncture out of what is seen to be alternative to mainstream medicine. "
"I think acupuncture should be more widely available on the NHS - but with a huge rider, only in areas where it has been shown to have definite benefits. " "It is not a panacea for everything. " "It should be made available in primary care to treat pain and to prevent costly referrals to hospitals." Ailments which respond well to acupuncture include headaches, neck, shoulder and back pain and osteoarthritis in the knee, he says. Each week, 10% of GPs in the UK either refer patients to acupuncture or practise it themselves, and chronic headache is one of the most commonly treated conditions. It shows a growing recognition by the health service of the benefit of complementary medicine. A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "The government appreciates that many people find different complementary medicines, such as acupuncture, helpful in alleviating the symptoms of certain illness, especially those for which orthodox medicine does not seems to have a complete answer. "As a result, some complementary and alternative medicine can be made available on the NHS if local NHS clinicians and commissioning organisations such as primary care trusts are convinced that it will be a clinical and cost effective use of resources." cited from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3506400.stm Share this blog entry:  Digg it |  del.icio.us |  Stumble it! |  Reddit |  Furl
