Our blood carries vital nutrients throughout our bodies including oxygen, nutrients absorbed from food, and even hormones, without which we would be depleted and our organs would ultimately stop functioning properly altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is just one consequence of poor circulation and it is estimated that nearly 1 million Americans suffer from this each year, with more than 5% of people 70 or older diagnosed each year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Causes of poor circulation can include excessive cholesterol in the arteries, obesity, diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, stress and poor lifestyle choices like improper diet and little to no exercise. Modern medicine treats poor circulation with prescription medication, angioplasty, stents, and in the most severe cases, amputation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs of poor circulation are not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> varicose veins<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">muscle cramps<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">swelling\/edema<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sores<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">numbness and tingling<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cold or discolored hands and feet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Acupuncture to the Rescue<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acupuncture doesn&#8217;t just treat the symptoms that accompany poor circulation, but seeks to address the root cause of the problem; m<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">odifications in diet can also address certain symptom concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4739128\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2016 study <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">looked at acupuncture and its effect on neuroregeneration in ischemic stroke.
