Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County now offers patients and area residents an opportunity to explore the benefits of one of the most commonly used alternative medicine practices around the world for pain and other disorders, with the addition of acupuncture services.

According to statistics, Americans spend over $ 34 billion annually on complementary and alternative medicine. Considered an alternative medicine, acupuncture therapy is used by approximately 3.1 million Americans each year, according to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey.

Pain and musculoskeletal complaints, such as back and joint pain, severe headaches and migraines and recurring pain, are among the top conditions for which people seek acupuncture treatment.

Recognizing the growing demand and the important role the mind-body-spirit connection plays in healing, Lourdes has expanded the reach of its acupuncture services to include its medical center in Willingboro.

In our current healthcare system, acupuncture often comes into play if other types of care haven't worked or if the patient needs additional care or adjunct treatment to supplement other care, said Frank Pileggi, PhD, RHP director of the Lourdes Institute of Wholistic Studies. Acupuncture has a unique ability to reach these patients in a way that other modes of care have not and fosters an improved sense of well-being in the majority of patients.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy of health maintenance and involves painlessly inserting superfine, hair-like needles at pressure points on the body to restore the bodys pattern of energy flow, known as qi, and thus improve overall function and health.
