How does acupuncture stop pain?
Acupuncture can ease pain by:
relaxing muscles and reducing spasms
increasing circulation to the local area
reducing inflammation
raising endorphin levels (feel good chemicals)
How many treatments will I need?
This varies based on the condition and the person. Generally acute pain (less than 3 months duration) is treated in a short series of treatments close together and chronic pain requires treatment over a longer period of time.
How else will acupuncture help me deal with my pain?
Most patients experience a feeling of calm and relaxation during treatment. Pain is stressful and can wear someone down causing irritability, tension and insomnia – acupuncture helps to ease these negative aspects of pain.
