Everybody ages. There’s no avoiding it. However, the aches and pains that accompany aging bodies can often be treated with alternative medicine such as acupuncture, which is a gentle and natural form of therapy that aims to treat the source of the pain without medications.

The reason why acupuncture has been around for centuries is not because of its marketability but because of its effectiveness. In fact, this ancient Chinese practice focuses on the pressure points of the body to treat disease and to help release many of the toxins that disrupt the body. Many senior citizens are deciding to incorporate acupuncture into their therapeutic routine based on its capabilities to produce the same results as pain-relieving prescriptions without all the side effects.

Don’t let pain and discomfort be covered up with medications that will fade away after a few hours. Allow us to help you find a lasting solution to your pain with acupuncture treatment at Progressive Acupuncture Wellness Center. Call (773) 786-9119 today and schedule an appointment in our Chicago office.

The most common reason senior citizens are seeking acupuncture therapy is because it helps ease arthritis pain and other chronic pain conditions. In fact, Rheumatoid arthritis is regularly treated with acupuncture. The brilliance of focusing on acupuncture points on the body allows the acupuncturist to treat the affected area and ensure that the rest of the body is also working correspondingly. The number of sessions, length, and number of treatments will vary among patients based on the condition of arthritis, and acupuncture can help ease inflammation from arthritis, relieving discomfort and preventing swelling.

Aside from arthritis, acupuncture may also help treat certain respiratory, mouth, and eye conditions that typically result in consuming medications with many side effects. Fortunately, acupuncture can help senior citizens recover from respiratory system problems such as acute rhinitis, sinusitis, and tonsillitis, which have all shown exceptional responses to acupuncture treatments. Additionally, acupuncture has been found to help relieve common eye disorders such as acute conjunctivitis and cataracts, and it can have a significant impact on mouth disorders such as pharyngitis, gingivitis, and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
