Acupuncture for Pain of Any Kind

Acupuncture is perhaps best known for pain relief. One reason is because it is very effective. Research studies have shown that acupuncture can help reduce many types of pain including low back, neck, shoulder, headache and knee pain. Acupuncture treatment can also help relieve fibromyalgia pain and chronic headaches/migraines.

Acupuncture is also helpful for post-operative pain and promotes healing and pain relief of sprains and strains. Treatment can help reduce swelling, as well as relieve pain for such injuries and return the affected area to use more quickly.

Chinese medical theory about acupuncture for pain relief is based on the idea of improved flow of qi and blood to the affected area. When qi and blood do not flow freely, pain results. And just like a river full of debris or dammed up with sticks and logs, the affected area is often clogged and blocked, so waste matter builds up in muscles and blood flow is restricted. Acupuncture treatment seeks to unblock the area and restore normal function by bringing qi and blood to the area and by dispersing any blocked qi. This can be done using needles, as well as accessory techniques such as cupping (pictured above), gua sha, and moxibustion.
