Acupuncture for HIV

I have a strong passion for helping people who are HIV+. I find it exciting to be able to use an ancient medicine such as acupuncture to treat a modern disease such as HIV or AIDS. Acupuncture doesn't exactly treat the HIV itself, but it is proven to increase a person's immune system, making it extremely important for anyone living with HIV to consider. Acupuncture is also widely used for the side effects due to HIV medications. It helps with nausea and other digestive issues, as well as other side effects you might be having. I have been treating HIV+ patients for several years and have seen all types of issues, such as headaches due to medications, shingles, skin conditions, or just to help people feel cooler.

HIV is a condition that adds heat to the body. Most of my patients who are HIV+ tend to feel warmer than other people, and the joy of acupuncture is that it is a very self-regulating medicine, meaning that if you tend to be warm, it will cool you off. (As a side note, if you are someone who is usually cold, it can help to warm you up.) So with that, I strive to help my patients feel comfortable in their skin, and not just with their body temperature, but also with their body.

Learning that you have HIV can be overwhelming. I take the time to be with my patients while they are going through this emotionally difficult time. Acupuncture treats on a body, mind, and spirit level, making it a great resource for anyone, not just those people living with HIV or AIDS. I have helped many people who became extremely sad or depressed due to contracting HIV.

During your acupuncture treatment at Element Acupuncture in Boston we will sit down and discuss all these options with you. We take the time to make sure we know all about your concerns and we come up with a treatment plan that is realistic and effective.

Call William Wessel now at 617-922-1881 to discuss your health concerns and to see how acupuncture can help you to have less side effects from your HIV treatment. Our office is located in the back bay neighborhood of Boston and is easily accessible from the South End, Fenway, Beacon Hill or Cambridge. We are never too busy to talk to you and want you to feel better. We know what it is like to live with these conditions.
