How Acupuncture Can Help With Pain
Acupuncture is widely recognised as an effective and natural approach to pain relief. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it works by restoring the smooth flow of Qi and blood and reducing inflammation, relaxing muscles, and calming the nervous system.
From a Western medical perspective, research shows that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s natural painkillers, while modulating pain perception in the brain and reducing inflammatory responses. Studies published in leading journals such as The Lancet and JAMA have demonstrated its benefits for chronic pain conditions, including back pain, osteoarthritis, migraines, and postoperative pain.
Acupuncture offers a safe, drug-free method for managing both acute and chronic pain, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying imbalances that contribute to discomfort.
