Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy where an herb, usually artemesia vulgaris, is burned and used to indirectly heat specific acupuncture points or regions of the body. Generally a series of treatments is required. After an initial evaluation the acupuncturist should provide you with a treatment plan that includes the modalities to be used as well as the frequency and duration of treatment. While used as a complete system of health care in some countries, here, acupuncture is most often used for relief of pain from a variety of causes. Acupuncture is useful for pain management and to restore function in soft-tissue disease and disability.
Acupuncture is an effective conservative care adjunct to conventional return to work programs.
