MicroAcupuncture can help restore vision in those suffering from degenerative eye diseases
Alternative Vision Treatments at Arkansas Acupuncture Center in Northwest Arkansas
MicroAcupuncture is unlike any traditional acupuncture system. “Micro” refers to the fact that the acupuncture needles are placed in a small, specific space to create very specific effects. No needles are placed in the eyes. Needles are inserted in 48 specific spots in the hands and feet.
There are a total of 48 needles within this system. When treating eye diseases, we use 6 to 8 needles in each foot, and 2 or 3 in each hand, depending on the disease being treated.
Founded in the ancient Chinese system of acupuncture, MicroAcupuncture was developed in the 20th century, compiling points from various acupuncture traditions into a therapeutic concept specifically for vision loss and degenerative eye diseases.
At Arkansas Acupuncture, we use MicroAcupuncture to treat and help restore vision caused by a wide range of eye conditions:
- Macular Degeneration
- Retinitis Pigmentosa
- Stargardt’s Disease
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Glaucoma
- Usher’s Syndrome
- Floaters
- Angioid Streaks
- Rod-Cone Dystrophy
- Other diseases affecting the retina and optic nerve.
Although MicroAcupuncture can help restore vision in people suffering from degenerative eye diseases, it is not a cure. This unique form of acupuncture is an effective alternative vision treatment that has proven repeatedly to be one of the most powerful and effective options for helping patients who suffer from these conditions. Clinical results show that over 95% of patients receive improved vision within the first week of treatment. Results vary significantly among patients.
