Acupuncture for Chronic Pain
Acupuncture is a safe and proven
effective treatment of chronic pain. The exact mechanism of action in
biomedical terms is not fully understood, but it releases endorphins (natural
painkillers), interacts with the pain signals going to the brain, reduces
inflammation, and triggers a healing response in the body, which leads not only
to decreased pain and inflammation, but can promote healing.
Pain Medications Not Always The Answer
Drugs for chronic pain can leave you feeling well, but they may lead to addiction, liver damage, or worse. Local injections of steroids such as cortisone shots can actually weaken the bones, ligaments, and the cartilage of the joints. These are the very tissues that you want to heal and strengthen. With such adverse effects it is only natural for you to seek another form of treatment.
