Acupuncture stimulates recovery of damaged nerve structures
Published findings from neural regeneration research demonstrate that acupuncture acts beneficially on damaged motor nerves in the lower and upper limbs. Electromyography tests of nerve stimulus conduction in patients suffering from nervous system damage had “an effective response” in 80% of those who participated in the study. In the upper extremity, electromyography confirmed that acupuncture significantly improves nerve conduction velocity and promotes the restoration of optimal movement amplitudes….
