Over a fairly long period, we have been observing the recovery progress of a patient who, complaining of stress induced headaches stemmins from whiplashinjury, chose to abandon conventional medicine in favor of acupuncture and moxibustion.
This patient had been experiencing head-aches as a result of rehabilitation, TENS treatment and psychological stress, and other causes. However, immediately after acupuncture and moxibustiontreatment, the headaches would either disappear entirely, or their severity would be greatly reduced. As a result, the patient was able to easily resume ordinary daily activities which had previously been severely restricted. We cannot help but conclude that there is astrong connection between the acupuncture treatment and the patient's return to a normal life.
