What does AOM mean in MEDICAL

AOM stands for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. It is a holistic approach to health care that uses natural therapies such as herbs, exercise, acupuncture treatments, dietary changes, and massage techniques to promote overall wellbeing.

Conventional medicine looks at treating medical conditions symptomatically rather than looking at how each individual's lifestyle choices may be contributing to their condition. AOM seeks to identify the underlying imbalance in an individual's life that may be leading to disease or illness. It works to address this imbalance through natural therapies that restore balance in the body and mind.

In general, AOM has few side effects if any. There are rare occasions when patients experience minor discomfort due to the needles used during acupuncture treatments but these should disappear soon after treatment ends. Herbal remedies can also cause side effects but these can usually be avoided by taking them under strict supervision from a qualified professional who understands how they work and how they interact with other medications or supplements you may already be taking.

Results will vary depending on your individual situation but typically improvements can be seen after 2-3 weeks of regular treatment plans. Depending on the severity of your condition, further progress can then be made as treatments continue over several months.

Yes - many studies have found positive outcomes when using acupuncture or herbal remedies within an integrative setting alongside conventional medicines. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also issued guidelines on clinical practice based on evidence-based research findings regarding acupuncture therapy.
