Postoperative Recovery & Acupuncture

Acupuncture can reduce the need for postoperative opioids during recovery. Patients receiving acupuncture therapy showed minimized side effects of postoperative opioids, such as: nausea, dizziness, urinary disorders, and itching.

Acupuncture resulted in less opioid use by 21–29 percent, while maintaining reduced pain levels for a safe and effective option for postoperative recovery. We recommend trying acupuncture therapy in conjunction with your doctor's care plan to speed up recovery and minimize uncomfortable side-effects.
