Acupuncture offers pain relief and reduces stress
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Acupuncture not only relieves pain; it can also decrease stress when the pins are placed in such a way as to trigger the psychological and physiological balance.
Lying face-down with thin needles lightly pricking one's back, shoulders, legs and head may not sound like the most relaxing stress-reliever, but for some people, it's just what the doctor ordered.
Paula Lord, owner of Paula's Acupuncture located next to L.A. Tan and Spa on East University, said acupuncture is an excellent way for students to reduce stress or any other physical ailment they may be experiencing.
Lord, originally from Los Angeles, Calif., said she became interested in acupuncture because she had severe neck and back pain.
After she became certified, she worked in multiple clinics in California before deciding to move to Auburn with her husband.
The second set of questions pertains to the kidneys and urinary bladder, while the third set of questions concentrates on the liver and gallbladder.
Lord said if a client is feeling fearful, the problem may be connected to the kidneys.
Lord also said the liver controls the eyes, and if a client has dry eyes, it could be a problem with the liver.
The last set of questions focus on the heart and small intestines.
Lord said she understands why people may be frightened at first by the different form of therapy, but with the proper treatment, it can be an enjoyable experience.
Lisa Johnson, a hair stylist at L.A. Tan and Spa, has gone through sessions with Lord.
Keith said he fractured two vertebrae in his back and has since had trouble lifting heavy objects.
Because of the acupuncture, his pain has been relieved, he said.
Keith said his wife worked with many students at University of California Los Angeles for stress relief and concentrated on many student athletes.
Auburn athletes, especially football players, suffer from a lot of abuse on their bodies in practice and in games, which prevents them from being 100 percent all the time.
