Acupuncture in Bremerton is considered alternative medicine but it has been around for centuries and is utilized by many countries as primary care for common conditions such as stress, chronic pain, digestive issues, breathing issues, and many other ailments. In America we are in a completely different healthcare system. As Americans we treat symptoms and do not spend a lot of time looking at the underlying cause. The difference between most countries and America is that we react when we are in a crisis; this means that we do not put any priorities on our health until we are in a crisis. For example, when we have a clogged artery we typically do not have any pain and years go by before we have our first symptom, which is a stroke or heart attack. When this happens that’s when we react. When I state react I mean we decide we are finally going to make some dietary changes, we are finally going to exercise and start putting emphasis on our health. Most countries don’t do this, they always actively are working on improving health through prevention or maintenance care.
