Can acupuncture ease both pain and depression?
Acupuncture is gaining attention as a safe, drug-free way to relieve pain; and research shows it may also support mental health.
A 2021 study found acupuncture reduced anxiety more effectively than standard treatments.
Research also showed for patients struggling with chronic pain and depression, acupuncture outperformed medication alone, particularly for those who experienced side effects or limited relief from drugs.
A 2019 study found acupuncture can also enhance the benefits of antidepressants and reduced symptoms more than usual care.
And, it is also important to stay on top of the specific insurance rules by scheduling workshops or courses with American Acupuncture Council Network to update your team on billing rules and payer requirements.
The American Acupuncture Council Network is the expert with over 3 decades of experience dealing with a wide range of acupuncture billing issues.
