Scalp acupuncture shown effective for treating vascular dementia

A study published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science concluded that  acupuncture is beneficial for the treatment of vascular demential. Vascular dementia is caused by brain damage due to impaired blood flow to the brain.  Dementia is most commonly seen after a stroke or a series of mini-strokes.  But, any condition that reduces blood flow, and thereby oxygen, to the brain may cause vascular dementia.  The acupuncture substantially improved cognition and the overall condition of the patients suffering from vascular dementia including their performance of daily activities, mental state, and social behavior.



Insurance billing: As a service to you, we find out whether or not your health insurance covers acupuncture and when it does we bill your insurance.  There are plans that cover it, some pay for unlimited visits.  Why not be healthier?  That's what the insurance company realizes - preventing surgeries, the use of expensive pain killers, and your having to have medical procedures saves them (and you!) money.  And even preventing the common cold saves your employer money.
