How does Acupuncture help to treat Vertigo?
Acupuncture has been used to alleviate acute ailments such as dizziness, pain, and Vertigo, in traditional Chinese treatment (TCM) for more than a thousand years.
It is considered to be the most effective cure and permanent remedy for Vertigo.
Acupuncture can help relieve and provide the most effective solutions for Vertigo through these things:
- The increase in blood flow speeds in the vertebral-basilar arterial system improves cervical Vertigo.
- Enhances neuropeptide and endorphin levels This can help fight negative affective states.
- The stimulation of nerves in the muscles and other tissues. It results in the release of endorphins and other neurohumoral factors. It also alters the way pain is processed in the spinal cord and brain.
- Reduces inflammation by encouraging the release of immunomodulatory and vascular factors.
- The increase in microcirculation local to the area assists in the dispersion of swelling.
How many acupuncture sessions are needed for Vertigo?
Few researchers have found that most patients experienced significant improvement in their symptoms after the first session. After a few sessions of follow-up, the patients were free of symptoms.
Additional research in the laboratory and the clinical setting was conducted to confirm this assertion and work out the physiologic reasons behind the harmonizing effect of Acupuncture on the labyrinthic system. Acupuncture, in general, is believed to stimulate the nervous system and trigger the release of messenger neurochemical molecules.
