Retinitis Pigmentosa is second to Macular Degeneration with regards to the number of patients treated at the Arkansas Acupuncture Center in Bentonville, Arkansas. This new treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa is an alternative treatment called MicroAcupuncture. MicroAcupuncture can help patients gain vision, as proven over and over at our clinic.
Our hope is that most of these patients can hold around fifteen degrees of the central visual field if they start treatment while they still have some central vision. Patients with more severe conditions, where the central vision is gone, can also benefit from treatment. Although the enhancement of sight throughout the visual field is often prevalent, it is important for patients to understand that the acupuncture treatments are not a Retinitis Pigmentosa cure but a process the patient undergoes to help maintain and/or enhance their vision. Acupuncture for Retinitis Pigmentosa is one of the most promising treatments available.
The MicroAcupuncture treatment used is similar to the treatment for macular degeneration, as well as the acupuncture for Stargardt’s disease, Rod-Cone dystrophy treatment with acupuncture, and the acupuncture treatment for glaucoma.
