The ancient art of acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, tracing back to the medical practices in ancient China. But while there are plenty of proponents that agree that the occasional acupuncture session can help with a crick in the neck or pain in the back, could acupuncture prove beneficial to more medically pressing issues? Could the right needle in the right place actually help a man to overcome erectile dysfunction?
Research says no, but it could give your body the fighting chance it needs to overcome these erectile woes.
Extensive research has found no definitive connection between regular acupuncture sessions and the curing of physically-caused erectile dysfunction, but that isn’t to say that the ancient Far East medical practice can’t help in some way. Researchers have found the men that regularly attend acupuncture sessions do show signs of improvement in the bedroom, but this is less the result of the acupuncture and more a result of the acupuncture serving as a kind of placebo, convincing the mind that the sessions are working, which subsequently leads to mentally-induced ED being overcome.
But experts stress that acupuncture will likely not offer the help men need when it comes to erectile dysfunction caused by physical issues. For more serious bouts of ED, work with a medical professional to weed out the root cause of the issue, and work to overcome this issue with modern medicine.
But if you’re looking to get a helping hand in the fight against ED, acupuncture could be helpful, especially if your mind convinces you that it is.
