Acupuncturist: Ancient technique can treat many
conditions
Larisa Turin, 59, a licensed
acupuncturist and owner of River North's ChicagoAcupunctureTM, sees patients
every day "on whom Western medicine sort of gave up." They hope
alternative medicine will finally provide some answers.
Turin is determined to do just that.
"I treat patients under the
same health conditions as Western medicine, just with a different diagnostic
approach and treatment tools," she said. "Everything you see in a
doctor's office, you'll find in an acupuncturist's office."
Acupuncturists insert hair-thin,
sterilized needles at specific points on the body to restore balance and
health. An ancient element of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is a
form of natural healing used to both treat and prevent diseases. Acupuncturists
treat a wide range of disorders from headaches (and other types of pain) to
allergies, stress, insomnia, hot flashes, dizziness, nausea and asthma.
