Both pre and post-surgical support are integral to ensuring a smooth and successful surgical experience. These phases aim to minimize complications, promote swift recovery, and support the patient's overall well-being throughout the surgical journey.
Acupuncture can be beneficial both before and after surgery by helping to reduce anxiety, manage pain, decrease the need for anesthesia and pain medication, alleviate nausea and vomiting, and potentially improve overall recovery by promoting relaxation and enhancing the body's natural healing processes; essentially acting as a complementary therapy to standard surgical care.
