Pain Management With Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine can help with all types of pain. Acupuncture works by stimulating the nerve endings in painful tissue. This stimulation releases chemicals that enhance blood flow, nutrients, and oxygen in areas painful to relieve pain and relax knotted muscles. Acupuncture is known to boost endogenous opiates and release corticosteroids into the bloodstream in order to reduce pain, inflammation, and accelerate the healing process. Cupping and gua sha increase blood circulation to a body area, draw waste material out of painful tissue, and trigger the tissue's self-repair mechanisms. Below are a few pain conditions commonly treated with acupuncture:
