How widely is acupuncture used in
the United States
In the past two decades, acupuncture has grown in
popularity in the United States.The report from a Consensus
Development Conference on Acupuncture held at the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) |
 |
| in 1997 stated that
acupuncture is being "widely" practiced--by thousands of physicians,
dentists, acupuncturists, and other practitioners--for relief or
prevention of pain and for various other health conditions.1
According to the 2002 National Health Interview Survey--the largest
and most comprehensive survey of
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)A group of diverse medical
and health care systems, practices, and products that are not
presently considered to be part of conventional medicine.
Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine,
and alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine.
use by American adults to date--an estimated 8.2 million U.S. adults
had ever used acupuncture, and an estimated 2.1 million U.S. adults
had used acupuncture in the previous year |
| What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used
medical procedures in the world. Originating in China more than 2,000
years ago, acupuncture began to become better known in the United
States in 1971, when New York Times reporter James Reston wrote about
how doctors in China used needles to ease his pain after surgery.
The term acupuncture describes a family of
procedures involving stimulation of anatomical points on the body by a
variety of techniques. American practices of acupuncture incorporate
medical traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries. The
acupuncture technique that has been most studied scientifically
involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that
are manipulated by the hands or by electrical stimulation.

I will encourage my patients to participate
in decisions relating to their lives.
I will endeavor to alleviate their fears
and recognize that occasionally the most meaningful treatment may
be to listen with kindness and understanding.
I will treat my patients with dignity and
will give to them the respect and privacy which I would hope to
receive if I were ill.
I will keep their trust and preserve
confidentiality.
I will understand that a patient's sense of
self-esteem is essential to good health.
I will value life even as I must also
strive to understand the process of dying.

and will share my knowledge with others.
I will strive to further my education and
develop habits that promote further intellectual growth.
