Advantages of using Acupuncture for the treatment of Pain
Acupuncture is a natural, time-tested, safe, effective, and drug-free approach to eliminating pain. Unlike most methods for managing pain, acupuncture has very few side effects. Furthermore, acupuncture may work to help resolve the underlying cause of the pain, not just mask it. Research suggests that acupuncture treats painful conditions by:
- Reducing inflammation and swelling
- Relaxing muscles and reducing spasms
- Normalizing the nervous system
- Increasing circulation to the local area
- Deactivating trigger points
- Increasing endorphin, enkephalin, and adenosine levels
- Softening scars and releasing fascial adhesions
Benefits of Acupuncture for Neuropathy
Acupuncture can be an effective complementary therapy for neurological pain, particularly neuropathic pain, by stimulating nerves to release endorphins, activating descending pain control pathways, and influencing autonomic nervous system functions. Studies and meta-analyses have shown acupuncture to be effective in reducing pain, improving quality of life, and decreasing anxiety and depression associated with neuropathic pain conditions like postherpetic neuralgia. While research continues to explore its precise mechanisms and standardize protocols, acupuncture offers a low-risk, non-pharmacological approach to managing chronic nerve pain
Natural Treatment to Help Alleviate Stress, Anxiety & Depression
Acupuncture is very useful in the treatment of imbalances influencing a person’s experience of stress, anxiety and/or depression. Acupuncture naturally enhances neurotransmitter function, balances the neuroendocrine axis, reduces inflammation, increases endorphin secretion, dramatically reduces stress and has positive effects on the brain to improve mood. Acupuncture works best for stress, anxiety and depression when combined with other approaches, including: exercise, diet, lifestyle, counseling, etc.
Natural Treatment of Digestive Tract Issues
Acupuncture is commonly used in the treatment of many gastrointestinal disorders, such as: irritable bowel disease, reflux, nausea, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s, constipation, and diarrhea. It helps by calming inflammation, balancing the autonomic nervous system (fight/flight vs rest, digest, relax and heal), increasing circulation to affected organs, regulating motility, restoring stomach acidity to normal levels, improving gastric emptying and reducing stress. In conjunction with herbal medicine, exercise and diet, acupuncture is a powerful and safe treatment for many gastrointestinal issues.
