`
`It is safe, drug—free and rarely causes complications. Acupuncture is based on the idea
`that if the body is stimulated at specific points, it sends messages to the brain to
`release chemicals that help block pain. In addition, the stimulation is said to unblock
`the body‘s natural flow of energy.
`
`Many of the nearly 1,000 acupuncture points (acu—pointsJ in the body are near nerves.
`The chemicals released by the brain and spinal card after being stimulated by
`acupuncture include endorphins ta morphine—|ike chemical our bodies produce
`naturally) and other neurotransmitters (chemicals that modify nerve impulses]. These
`chemicals block the message of pain that is being sent to the brain.

`
`During acupuncture, a doctor uses hair—thin metal needles. The needles, which come
`sterilized and pre—packaged. are tapped into the body at various deaths. The
`placement is carefully determined based on the doctor's knowledge of acu—points and
`the specific condition being treated.
`
`You may feel a slight prick when the needle is put in. However, the needles are much
`thinner than those used for an injection or blood test, so the feeling is much milder.
`
`The needles stay in place up to 20 minutes. They may be twirled, energized with
`electricity or warmed to increase the effect of treatment. When electricity is applied,
`you may feel tingling. If this gets too strong, you can ask your doctor or nurse to lower
`the amount of electricity.
`
`You may need more than one session. Your doctor will use different combinations of
`points, different needle techniques or both to stimulate new sources of healing. You
`should try acupuncture for five to I0 treatments before deciding whether it is effective
`for you.
`
`If you have chronic pain or a serious illness, you should consider acupuncture as a
`complement to, rather than a replacement for, other medical treatments (such as
`physical therapy or medications).

`Chiropractic for Spine Conditions
`Chiropractic is a branch of healthcare that focuses on the relationship
`between the body's structure — mainly the spine — and its function.

`
`Conditions commonly treated by chiropractors include headaches,
`sports injuries and repetitive strains. Patients also seek treatment of pain associated
`with other conditions, such as arthritis.
`
`Doctors of chiropractic receive both classroom and clinical training in anatomy,
`physio|O9¥. microbiol09¥, biochemistry, pathology, nutrition, public health and other
`subjects. Chiropractic students spend four years learning how to adjust and manipulate
`the spine, joints, bones, muscles and connective tissues (such as the ligaments and
`tendons attached to bones and muscles). Following training, chiropractors must be
`licensed by the state to practice. Chiropractic does not use drugs or surgery in
`treatment.
`
`The Cedars—Sinai Spine Center may provide access to chiropractic care.
`
`If you are seeing a chiropractor or plan to do so, be sure to inform your doctor or
`surgeon so that all members of your healthcare team are informed and working
`together.
