A study from the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care at the University Hospital of Vienna, Austria showed that after ten weeks of acupuncture treatments over 70% of chronic asthma patients achieved substantial results. Acupuncture reduced inflamation within the airways. In addition to acupuncture, various means of treatment may be appropriate.

| Back Pain |
Eight out of ten Americans have or will experience back pain. It remains the most common cause of job-related disability and costs Americans an estimated 50 billion dollars a year in trying to relieve it. Though commonly a result of injuries or strains to the area, low back pain can be caused by numerous factors including: poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and stress. Because acupuncture works to balance the body as a whole, it is very effective in relieveing back pain, whatever the underlying cause may be. A very recent study compared drug therapy, sham acupuncture-(acupuncture needles inserted into "random" points), and "real" acupuncture in their ability to treat back pain. Interestingly, both the "sham" acupuncture and the "real" acupuncture were more effective in treating back pain than the drug therapy. At the Kindo Center, patients back pain is evaluated and a specific program recommended that utilizes a combination of stratagies including acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, cold laser therapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, and homeopathic injections. Acupuncture should always be the first choice in the treatment of back pain, as well as any pain in the body including: neck pain, headaches and migraines, hip, knee and leg pain. Acupuncture is not always the answer to everyone's issues; however because of its' rapid rate of affectiveness and low cost, acupuncture should be the first choice. |
