This community is about learning the basics, but a really important part of this community is also about taking your understanding of msk and orthopedic treatments to the next level.

The benefits in this latter case were quite amazing, i.e., a significant improvement of energy and mobility, as well as of the general spirit. I treated this patient with almost exclusively EA perfusion treatments in the upper (T1-T5) and lower (T10-S2) segments, with weekly sessions over a period of 6-8 weeks.
This being mentioned, I also started wondering if the perfusion treatment may also offer benefits in terms of high blood pressure. Research has shown that acupuncture can reduce both the systolic BP (~ 5–10 mmHg) and the diastolic BP (~ 3–6 mmHg), as a result of (i) a reduction of the sympathetic nervous system, (ii) an increase of the parasympathetic activity, and (iii) the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin, and nitric oxide. An improvement of the vascular function and peripheral circulation is also evoked as a possible ...
