Question:
What are the counter-indications when making use of the IWT?
Answer:
The IWT can be practically used for treating most of the diseases. In contrast to acupuncture, which has a lot of counterindications, the IWT does not have any whatsoever. In every concrete case, an IWT doctor makes a decision concerning the IWT application. It should be rationally determined when and at what stage the IWT should be resorted to and it should be properly chosen as the main or the auxiliary way of treatment. The IWT should be conducted as the auxiliary means during urgent conditions demanding surgical interference, although it can be the main means of treatment in post-operation period.
It should be noted that there are points of influence (interactions) which can be dangerous and even deadly in acupuncture treatment. In most cases, these points are used to ensure urgent assistance, and also in dealing with unavoidable cases.
