Prevention of Disease with Acupuncture
Vaccination
It is well known that prevention is better than treatment. In the medical field, there are three levels of prevention:primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary prevention refers to methods to avoid occurrence of disease either through eliminating disease agents or increasing resistance to disease. Secondary prevention consists of methods to detect and address an existing disease prior to the appearance of symptoms, Tertiary prevention includes methods to reduce negative impact of symptomatic disease, such as disability or death, through rehabilitation and treatment.
Together with other approaches of traditional Chinese medicine, such as Chinese herbs, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, acupuncture can be used in all levels of disease prevention.
