As Dr. Liang practice medicine, he started to notice that often patients would show up with symptoms of illnesses that are not severe enough to warrant medical attention but at the same time significant enough to cause suffering. These patients are deemed “not medical necessary” and turned away, until symptoms eventually manifests into a more severe form that require acute medical attention. These illnesses are known as "sub-health" conditions/status (SHS) or suboptimal conditions, exist in a limbo between criteria of healthy and ill and deemed untreatable or not worth treating, can cause patient prolonged suffering if left unchecked. For instance, men’s health problems such as certain men’s sexual issues, chronic pains such as joint and lower back pain could partially be categorized as SHS, and have no effective means of long term resolution. Acupuncture, with support of research evidences, has shown to be effective in treating many of the sub-health conditions, and with no accompanying side-effects like traditional chemical based medical treatments.
The Western scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.
The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being. This makes acupuncture an important element of preventative medicine, as well as curative treatment.
