What’s Your New Year’s Resolution?

Getting healthy is always at the top of New Year’s resolution lists, whether the goal be to quit smoking, lose weight, or manage stress. However, many people are discouraged because they have attempted these resolutions before, without success.

Maybe 2009 can be your year to try something new. If you have been curious about how acupuncture can help you, you’re not alone. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently released the results of a 2007 survey, which showed that about 38% of adults have tried some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). A 2002 NIH survey stated that 8.2 million American adults had used acupuncture, while a 2008 review of clinical studies concluded acupuncture treatments to be safe for children.
