A Case Report of Saam Acupuncture Quickly Ameliorating Autoimmune Pain

Autoimmune diseases have become increasingly common over the past decade, yet there is limited research on how to prevent them. This case report examines a 43-year-old woman with coeliac disease who suddenly developed debilitating rheumatoid-like symptoms following a week of antibiotics for strep throat. She experienced severe pain for an entire month until she was treated solely with Saam acupuncture. After three treatments over a six-day period, her symptoms nearly fully resolved. This case report suggests that acupuncture could be a promising treatment as well as a preventative option for autoimmune diseases.
