Acupuncture for the Treatment of Fatigue

People experience fatigue when they cannot effectively manage daily activities and responsibilities while allowing time for their health. Many feel continually fatigued. Acute or chronic, fatigue can lead to exhaustion and constant low energy. Fatigue is not improved with sleep and can impair functioning and quality of life.

Fatigue may be caused by physical inactivity, poor nutrition, an imbalanced wake-sleep cycle, depression, stress, or smoking. Acupuncture effectively treats fatigue and its symptoms, such as concentration difficulties, weakness, dizziness, sleep disturbances, irritability, anxiety, nervousness, and musculoskeletal pain.

Acupuncture can be utilized as a primary therapy alone or as a complementary therapy in a comprehensive fatigue management health care plan to alleviate fatigue and enhance overall health. Malfunctions in the endocrine, cardiovascular and digestive body systems that contribute to fatigue can also be treated with acupuncture.

Traditional Chinese medicine treats fatigue with a combination of modalities. Your acupuncture physician may recommend Chinese herbs, massage therapy, dietary modification, and tai chi and other movement therapies, in addition to acupuncture.

While correcting the body imbalances causing fatigue, acupuncture also increases serotonin levels, a natural chemical that aids sleep. Acupuncture improves mood, strengthens the immune system and treats acute and chronic pain conditions that may contribute to fatigue.
If you experience acute or chronic fatigue that is not relieved by adequate rest, acupuncture is recommended. Therapy for fatigue may incorporate overexertion prevention and stress management.

    I am a huge fan of acupuncture, and it has not only helped me with fatigue, but somehow I also feel like I’m sleeping better at night. I’ve been receiving treatments off and on for over 20 years now, and I’d highly recommend it.

  3. Acupuncture has been an essential part of medicine for thousands of years in the East, yet even as it catches on in the West, physicians in this part of the world have yet to figure out exactly how this ancient technique works. Whatever the mechanisms, acupuncture does appear to work. Scientific studies are offering real evidence that it can ease pain and treat ailments ranging from osteoarthritis to migraine headaches. The technique of acupuncture involves placing hair-thin needles in various pressure points (called acupoints) throughout the body. Stimulating these points is believed to promote the body’s natural healing capabilities and enhance its function.

    treatment through acupuncture Acupuncture is very good and the treatment techniques used in traditional Chinese medicine. The needles are very sharp used to stimulate specific points on the body.
    nice info..

  5. Acupuncture is really very effective to treat Fatigue & many more physical and problems. My girlfriend was suffering with depression last year and she went for a acupuncture treatment in Florida and she has seen positive results after 2-3 sittings. I would recommend the treatment for all. this is risk free and very no side effects.

  6. Jon Street says:

    Yes, I’ve tried it. All I can say is I can feel the difference.

  7. Zygor Guide says:

    I would like to try acupuncture some time. But it makes me wonder if it is just a placebo or does it really work. I watched a video once where a person stopped smoking by making the patient think that acupuncture therapy will make him stop, and he actually did stop.

    However, the so called doctor was just a Chinese cook dressed in a doctors suit and he used a toothpick to do the punctures.

  8. I always afraid with acupuncture. I can’t stand with needles :)
    But i guess i’ll give it a try sometimes.

  9. Therapy for prevention of fatigue and overexertion May incorporate stress management. Acupuncture is good for overcoming fatigue, but adequate rest is still more than this.

    Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated. :)

  10. Research suggests that Acupuncture may produce complex changes in the brain and body, possibly by stimulating nerve fibers that then send signals to the brain and spinal cord to release certain hormones that block pain and makes you feel better.

  16. Acupuncture is a therapy that uses natural laws and energetics with the application of needles and pressure to specific “points” on the body. It is based on the belief that
    health is determined by a balanced flow of Qi, the vital life energy present in all living organisms.

  17. My husband is on his 3rd session now with his Acupuncture fatigue plan. According his been feeling better now.

  18. james says:

  19. Dan says:

    Nice article. I have been very tired lately. Which, as a college student, I mostly attribute to my poor sleeping schedule and semi-healthy diet. I have always been curious about acupuncture, so thanks for giving me one more reason to check it out.

  20. I would like to try acupuncture. I think it is really effective.

  21. Joe says:

    I seem to suffer from a lot of fatigue and allergies as well would acupuncture and massages on a regular basis
    help with those two issues?

    thanks

  22. Kaya says:

    In the West, acupuncture has been studied more for FMS than ME/CFS, but many doctors, acupuncturists and people with ME/CFS say they’ve had success with it. Several Chinese studies have shown it’s effective for ME/CFS. Your specific Western diagnosis likely won’t be important to an acupuncturist, who uses different terminology to diagnose and treat you.

  24. Edwin says:

    There are many ways to treat this condition with Eastern Medicine and our presentation is only one of many possible options.

  25. Edwin says:

    Acupuncture and other traditional Chinese treatments seek to restore the natural flow of chi and return the body to harmony.The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) formally recognize acupuncture as a method of pain relief. An NIH advisory panel has concluded that acupuncture is a useful treatment for fibromyalgia, headache, asthma and other conditions
