Diseases of the Heart and Blood Vessels

Choosing acupuncture as part of your wellness routine is a smart move. With the careful placement of needles, an acupuncturist helps alleviate tension, reduce stress, restore balance, improve circulation, and support long-term health.

Diseases of the Heart and Blood Vessels

While acupuncture is not regularly utilized as a treatment for diseases of the circulatory system in the West, it is a common and acceptable form of Chinese treatment. Animal experiments conducted in China illustrate that acupuncture treatments do affect the circulatory system.

Angina

Angina is a type of ’cramp‘ in the heart muscles caused by poor blood supply to the heart. The common symptom is chest pain during exercise. The Chinese have completed trials that exhibit a marked increase in the functional ability and efficiency of the heart muscles after acupuncture.

The findings from these trials are further supported by clinical findings that demonstrate an 80% improvement rate of angina patients after acupuncture. When acupuncture is utilized as an angina treatment, a course of treatments is given followed by booster treatments every four to six months.

The Correction of Abnormal Heart Rhythms

Diseases of the heart can frequently cause abnormal heart beat rhythms which may manifest as palpitations, irregular heartbeat, or dropped beats. Acupuncture is said to be able to correct a small number of these arrhythmias. In established atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats) acupuncture affects a small percentage of cases: approximately 1.5%. Acupuncture is much more effective in treating recently acquired arrhythmias with a 70% success rate.

Raised Blood Pressure

Traditional Chinese medicine does not recognize elevated blood pressure (hypertension) as a disease, but acupuncture can be used to treat the infrequent and vague symptoms of the disease such as headaches and dizziness. Acupuncture and moxibustion is believed to be effective in lowering blood pressure, but solid data to support this theory is still lacking to illustrate the effectiveness on a long or short term basis. Currently the concept of high blood pressure and treatment remains unclear as well as acupunctures effectiveness in treating the disease.

This clinic is incredible. The care provided by the acupuncture specialist was by far the greatest I have ever encountered. I was able to schedule an appointment online. I went in with a pain level of 10 in my shoulder and left with a pain level of 5. I really suggest it.

This acupuncture clinic saved my life. I had Cervical issues that caused a lot of pain, on top of mental anxiety that caused a lot of muscular ache. After a few acupuncture treatments left me feeling emotionally and physically relaxed. I strongly advise anyone with a condition to get the finest care possible.

This oakville acupuncture clinic stands out for their outstanding patient and health care services. Every time I visit, I feel as if I am their only patient; they treat me with genuine affection and take the time necessary to thoroughly examine my symptoms in order to provide the most accurate diagnosis. I came in with shoulder pain that had become incapacitating and that no other practitioners had been able to relieve (I had seen a few). I highly recommend this Center, which is staffed by knowledgeable practitioners. Everything is very intuitive.

Acupuncture has been a part of my life for years, but due to the pandemic, I haven't received them on regular basis. This acupuncture clinic was recommended by my previous acupuncturist, who moved. It was definitely the right choice for me. Using acupuncture to treat chronic headaches has proven to be the best long-term solution for me. The treatment I received was painless even though some areas can be a bit uncomfortable (especially those that need the most attention). Following my two first acupuncture visits, I look forward to returning for follow-up visits (a few visits usually keep things in order and keep my headaches and pains at bay). Overall, my experience at Oakville Acupuncture Clinic has been very positive.
