How Does Acupuncture Help Chronic Pain?
Acupuncture is a treatment in Chinese Medicine is said to balance the life force of a person—the qi. This belief asserts that your body has two forces, the yin, and yang, and when they aren’t in balance, optimal health is compromised. By releasing the blockage in the flow of your qi that’s causing the imbalance, acupuncture can help to achieve optimal health, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Acupuncture accomplishes this with the gentle insertion of small needles into your skin at specific points of your body to stimulate the release of the body’s natural painkillers and to affect areas in your brain that process pain. In Western medicine, acupuncture has been found to stimulate muscles, nerves, and connective tissue which boosts the body’s natural painkillers and reduces stress and tension. The body senses the needles, signaling the immune system to respond, increasing circulation and pain relief in the area. A virtually painless treatment, many find acupuncture to not only be healing, but relaxing as well, due to the signals and release made by the brain in response.
Will Acupuncture Work For Me?
There are different kinds of pain, which usually constitute different forms of treatment. However, evidence has demonstrated that acupuncture can help ease several types of chronic pain such as:
- Lower-back pain
- Tension headaches and migraines
- Osteoarthritis
- Neck pain
- TMJ disorders
- Chronic pelvic pain
Because of how the body responds to acupuncture, muscle tension relief can be felt in additional parts of the body, as well as relieve additional pain symptoms such as nausea and fatigue. If you are suffering from any of the above chronic pain conditions, acupuncture may be a viable option for chronic pain relief.
