stimulates the production of the body’s natural pain blocking chemicals
called endorphins.Acupuncture offers a way to address the source of the problem, rather than just the symptom itself. Therapeutic Goals of Acupuncture 1. to control pain 2. to resolve inflammation 3. to provide regeneration 4. to restore physical functions. Acupuncture can be effective in treating acute or sudden pain and chronic pain. It can help to relieve back, elbow, hip, knee, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, etc. The choice of “acupoints” depends on the individual’s problem or area of pain. One of the most striking aspects of acupuncture is the almost complete absence of side effects and complications from its use. Patients often report feeling of well being and relaxation, which probably are due to the effects of endorphins. |
