Does Acupuncture Really Work for chronic pain?
Welcome to Dr. Kristen Sparrow's channel! As a seasoned Anesthesiologist and Pediatrician, I've transitioned to being a full-time acupuncture practitioner. Here, we delve into the fascinating science of acupuncture, unveiling the latest research on its benefits for Anti-aging, Alzheimer's, Depression, Allergies, Anxiety and more. My expertise lies in the autonomic nervous system's role in health, particularly how acupuncture enhances vagal activity. Through Heart Rate Variability studies in my clinic, I explore vagal activity and its synergy with acupuncture and Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve stimulation—a technique I employ for select patients. My mission? To demystify complex science, serving as a guide or science translator in this realm. Whether you're an acupuncture patient or practitioner, or just curious, join me in this journey towards better health, happiness, and productivity. Let's unlock the secrets of this ancient practice together!
