Like massage therapy, acupuncture can be beneficial for easing symptoms of aches, pains, and even stress. Primarily, acupuncture can help to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore homeostasis. Acupuncture promotes blood flow, stimulates the body’s healing mechanisms, releases the body’s natural painkillers, reduces the intensity and perception of chronic pain, relaxes muscles, and reduces stress.
If you are looking for more ways to naturally reduce your body pain and to improve your overall health and well-being, acupuncture could be beneficial to you. Acupuncture is a completely natural and drug-free way of minimizing pain through the use of very thin needles. If you struggle with constant back or neck pain and find that your medications are not working as well as you’d like, take a natural approach and try acupuncture.
Acupuncture is proven to be helpful for those suffering from back pain. The majority of people visiting acupuncturists are there because of back pain! Even simulated acupuncture can be helpful, where no needles are used and only pressure is placed on acupuncture points. If you are nervous about trying acupuncture, simulated acupuncture may be the best place to start.
It may seem hard to believe that inserting thin needles into the skin could help with pain relief, but there’s more to it than that. The process is referred to as descending control normalization. This great article from Chris Kesser talks about the process in more detail.

Most people do not find acupuncture painful, however, there may be a minimal amount of discomfort for a few moments when the needles are inserted in the skin. Patients may experience some soreness after the acupuncture therapy is complete, but the benefits will far outweigh the few moments of minor pain. Contact us today to schedule your appointment!
