Acupuncture treatments are an emerging alternative to more invasive treatments like surgery or joint replace.
The Mayo clinic, one of the country’s leading research facilities, explains
“Stem cells are the body’s raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells.
These cells either become new stem cells (self-renewal) or become specialized cells (differentiation) with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle or bone.
An ideal treatment option would be to find a way to let your body produce stem cells on it’s own. Recent research has shown that this is possible by combining acupuncture and electrical stimulation.
