Pain and Acupuncture
Arthritis, tendonitis, sciatica, headaches, neck pain, back pain, and more…
Chronic pain can be debilitating and a source of stress for patients suffering from
constant pain. Pain not only affects the mind, but patients can also gradually experience
loss of movement and control of body parts. Pain can be eliminated or relieved using
acupuncture. From chronic pains caused by bad posture, injury, or inflammation,
to post-operative pain, Fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and even menstrual cramps.
Acupuncture triggers the body to heal itself by stimulating the release of steroids
and endorphins for pain relief and healing. With acupuncture treatment, endorphin
levels rise and patients experience pain relief for several days. Within this period,
the body is able to heal itself. The idea is to keep the endorphin levels at a constant
in order to promote long term healing. After acupuncture, patients feel relief of
pain instantly or experience gradual decrease of pain or decrease in the number
of pain attacks. It is important to maintain consistent acupuncture treatments in
pain management. Along with acupuncture treatments, herbal supplements are also
prescribed to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Sessions
are scheduled according to the condition of the patient as well as the patient’s
response to the treatments.
