It’s been found that dizziness was the most common cause of patients visiting a doctor. Almost as common as back pain and headaches. It was also found the overall incidence of dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance is 5-10%, and it reaches 40% in patients older than 40 [1] and the estimated number of 2011 US ED visits for dizziness was 3.9 million. [2]
When experiencing temporary dizziness, you’ll be recommended to drink more water and to receive the proper vitamins the body needs. However, there are cases when dizziness becomes more frequent and drinking water and vitamins can only do so much. In those cases, your doctor might recommend you to take medications or even go through intensive surgery. There is one recommendation, however, that your doctor might give you that doesn’t require intensive surgery or medication. It’s acupuncture for dizziness.
Acupuncture, a part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is known to be a popular form of treatment for chronic pain. It’s believed that disease and health issues are the result of an imbalance of the body’s life energy called qi or chi. With acupuncture, an acupuncturist can use acupuncture needles to target specific points on the body called acupoints to restore the flow of qi. By doing this, it returns the balances of the body’s qi and promotes the body’s natural healing abilities. The treatment, as a result, causes the body to be alleviated from its symptoms and pain.

Common Question
An acupuncture session is typically around 50 minutes to an hour. This is because your acupuncture will run a medical diagnosis and ask some questions about your symptoms. It will take 30 minutes more if it is your first acupuncture session since you’ll have to sign some forms beforehand.
Your acupuncture for dizziness will start with you coming in and meeting our acupuncturist, Dr. Fu. You’ll then sign some forms (if it is your first acupuncture session) and proceed to have a medical examination. With the examination, your acupuncturist will determine the optimal treatment for your dizziness. If it’s acupuncture, your acupuncturist will insert needles on your body. Don’t worry, they’re super thin and don’t hurt. Afterward, you’ll relax for 30 minutes with the needles inserted and after 30 minutes, your acupuncturist will remove the needles. Once your session finishes, you’ll schedule the next series of appointments until you are alleviated from your dizziness.
