National AOM day is a PERFECT day for you to have an acupuncture treatment, whether it is your first or your 100th!
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day (AOM) is observed each year by acupuncturists around the world. On this day we are rallying to help spread the word about how amazing acupuncture really is, how it can help resolve long term pain and short term illness.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a component of the National Institutes of Health estimates that 36% of all U.S. adults use some form of complementary and alternative medicine or CAM. Among these common therapies used are Acupuncture, Acupressure, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Tuina massage, Cupping, Guasha, Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
Celebrate Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day
Nearly one in ten adults have received acupuncture at least one time and over 60% said that they would readily consider acupuncture as a treatment option for their illnesses. Nearly half of these individuals who had received acupuncture were extremely satisfied with their treatments and felt they had gotten significantly better. One in five of the survey respondents reported that they had utilized some other form of Oriental medicine as well. (NCCAOM)
In addition, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is affordable health care for many without insurance, providing them with health care they would not otherwise have. Insurance companies are falling into line quickly, accepting acupuncture as an approved benefit as well.
It is clear that acupuncture is on the rise as a safe, effective treatment for many health care concerns. Support your acupuncturist today by scheduling an appointment and spreading the word! Share Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine with someone today and do your part in our health care crisis.
