Pain Management Q&A

How does acupuncture help with pain management?

Acupuncture treatments use long, thin treatment needles to trigger changes within your body. According to ancient Chinese medicine, these needles improve the flow of life energy throughout the body. When this energy is blocked, a number of painful conditions can develop.

Western medicine holds that acupuncture treatments stimulate your nervous system, improving circulation and releasing hormones that ease pain.

Many people turn to acupuncture after trying numerous other pain management options. The relief achieved through acupuncture can improve your daily quality of life and also enhance the way your body functions each day.

Why choose natural pain management?

You have options when it comes to managing acute or chronic pain. Drug therapy is a common approach, but one that’s not without risk. All medications carry a risk of side effects, and some include a risk of addiction, which can shape the rest of your life.

Surgery is sometimes an effective treatment for pain, but there are also risks inherent in any surgical procedure. Complications with anesthesia, bleeding, scarring, and infection are some issues that can develop during or after surgery.

Natural pain management offers a chance to reduce pain without the risks of pharmaceutical or surgical intervention. For many, this makes acupuncture a very appealing option.

Acupressure is another natural healing treatment. Using the same principles as acupuncture, acupressure relies on hands-on tissue manipulation in place of treatment needles.

How long does it take to see results from pain management?

Some people report immediate improvements in pain after acupressure or acupuncture. For others, it takes weeks for results to develop.

Give your body the time it needs to heal. Be patient as you move through the treatment process, and keep track of any positive or negative changes as they develop. Most people benefit from a series of treatments spaced out over time.
