Acupuncture for Relief From Most Types of Pain

Chronic pain affects many Americans. Chronic pain negatively impacts quality of life. Back pains, headaches, and neck pain or for that matter chronic pain in any part of the body causes disruption in one’s routine and the person affected is then not able to perform many tasks efficiently. While western medicineoffers drugs and surgery, they come with many side effects and risks. Sometimes that patient becomes worse off than they were before they took the medication or undergone the procedure.

What we really need is an effective method to treat many types of pain but would not give you side effects or significant risks. After thousands of years of evolution and many research studies, acupuncture has been shown to be an appropriate solution to this problem. Medical experts believe it can also decrease inflammation and edema, and cause release of endogenous opioids for pain relief. This modality is especially good for back pain, neck pain, and headaches, which are by far the most common complaints, especially for an older population. Back, neck pain and headache, can vary from acute to a chronic and debilitating. But acupuncture has methods to treat such types of pain with efficacy and may bring relief in just a few days.

Other major pains include sports injuries, pains associated with overuse, pain related to the nervous system (neuralgia, neuropathy, etc.) and much more. For most chronic types of pain, acupuncture can be helpful. Sometimes the effect is immediate, sometimes the effect is long term. This type of pain management does not disrupt the healing process and promotes natural healing and results in gentle and effective pain relief. Because acupuncture can be so effective, it may actually cost less than conventional methods over the long run.
