Electromagnetic Wave Therapy and Insomnia in Seattle
Chronic sleeping problems such as insomnia not only impair physical and mental activity, they also can lead to serious health problems in the end. The most commonly used “treatment” for insomnia is prescription and over-the-counter sleep medications. These medications, however, are laden with toxins that cause serious side effects. They also can be habit forming. A superior alternative to this is acupuncture in the form of electromagnetic wave therapy, also known as electronic acupuncture Seattle.
Insomnia can be caused by a lot of factors. It can be caused by extreme stress or by certain medications. Health issues such as arthritis, diabetes, heart ailments, Alzheimer’s disease or hypertension can also contribute to insomnia. Added to that list of causes is the use of nicotine, caffeine, night snacks or alcohol as well as emotional extremes such as anxiety.
While schedule and diet modifications can solve some insomnia problems, these solutions may not apply to all types of insomnia. Sometimes, insomnia may have a physiological etiology traced to a biochemical problem in the brain. Melatonin from the pineal gland controls a person’s sleeping patterns and a lack of this hormone can result in insomnia.
Melatonin usually is secreted based on the circadian rhythm of the individual, which does not necessarily follow the awake by day and sleep by night pattern; however melatonin by default is low during mornings and increases gradually throughout the day and when one becomes tired at the end of the day, the melatonin induces sleep in a person. If one’s circadian rhythm gets disrupted, the melatonin levels are affected. Electronic acupuncture addresses this problem and helps the person efficiently attain a sleep cycle attuned to his/her lifestyle.
Electromagnetic wave therapy is nothing more than a 21st century upgrade of traditional acupuncture. This type of acupuncture can really claim the title of being a painless type of treatment because instead of using acupuncture needles, a wand is used to send electromagnetic energy into the body. That energy goes through the hand produced by a gadget that produces electromagnetic energy. The wand sends out electromagnetic energy to specific acupuncture points on the palm of the left hand associated with the area of the brain that controls sleep.
Electromagnetic wave energy removes blockages in the energy pathways caused by stress and other factors. The gadget comes with a palm and hand map that charts specific areas in the hand that correspond to certain body functions. The blockages are suspected to impair the production and secretion of melatonin by the pineal gland.
This type of acupuncture is meant to be used at home. Some observe that electromagnetic wave therapy is more effective if it is used as a complementary modality for other treatments rather than it being the sole treatment for insomnia.
Arthritis and Acupuncture Jacksonville
Using needles to treat painful conditions seems rather quaint when one thinks about it but that is exactly how acupuncture works. With acupuncture, pain removal starts with the insertion of needles into the skin at specific areas of the body. Acupuncture to treat pain not only works; it works marvelously. Some surgeries where it is advantageous for the patient to remain conscious during the surgical process use acupuncture as a powerful analgesic to make the patient impervious to pain while remaining conscious. Even today, Western medical science is baffled as to how acupuncture for pain relief works.
Countless researches have verified the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment in treating, improving and/or controlling immune and endocrine function, stress and pain and swelling. Disorders such as tennis elbow, arthritis, menstrual discomfort and cramps, low back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome among others are ably treated with acupuncture. Acupuncture restores the energy balance of the body and jumpstarts the self-healing process of the body. It is a holistic type of treatment benefiting both the body and mind and a safe and natural approach to health without any side effects.
The greatest evidence of this treatment’s potency is its use by countless numbers of Chinese throughout millennia and today.
Some theories were developed to explain the workings of acupuncture for the treatment of pain in Jacksonville. The most popular theory is the one where that the needles are thought to stimulate the release of natural painkillers and “feel good” chemicals such as endorphins to neutralize the pain as well as control the neurotransmitters that send out pain signals to the brain, which effectively block the sensations of the pain; exactly how an analgesic works.
Anyone suffering from arthritis has used painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs at one time or another and one has yet to find an arthritic who feels truly satisfied with the medications he/she uses for his/her arthritis. Dependence and abuse of these drugs is common adding other unwanted problems for the arthritic. This is not to even mention the harmful side effects of these drugs, which in the end will weaken the user’s liver and kidneys. Another aspect going against these drugs is that in the long-term, they cost a lot more than acupuncture treatment.
Since acupuncture improves blood circulation in the body, it boosts the body’s immune system and energy level as well. A stronger immune system prevents the recurrence of disease, illnesses and injuries.
A treatment session usually lasts 20 to 40 minutes and depending on the magnitude of the problem, the whole treatment course may last for a few days to several months.
For those not satisfied with the effectiveness of painkillers and non-inflammatory drugs and desire a safe and natural approach for their problem, acupuncture is the best alternative for their arthritis problem.
