Angina Treatment:
Angina is a condition in which the person has chest pain due to an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
The pain can be mild or severe and typically lasts longer than 15 minutes.
Most cases of angina are caused by coronary artery disease, which occurs when the arteries that feed the heart become narrowed and harden.
If you live with angina, the symptoms may be reduced or eliminated by using medication and lifestyle changes.
Acupuncture for angina has been used for a very long time to treat these symptoms, such as shortness of breath and chest pain.
This treatment helps by relieving tension and providing an increased blood flow to the heart. This type of treatment consists of inserting thin needles at specific acupuncture points on the body.
The exact points used will depend on the patient’s individual needs, and they are often chosen based on their ability to reduce pain and improve circulation. During a session, it is common for the practitioner to leave the needles in place for 10-20 minutes or more.
It is believed that this helps to reduce muscle tension and improve blood flow to areas where there may be blockages or other issues contributing to angina pain.
Acupuncture has been shown in many studies to provide relief from symptoms associated with angina, such as chest discomfort and shortness of breath.
While there can be some risks associated with acupuncture, when done properly it can be an effective way to manage angina symptoms without relying solely on medication.
