Acupuncture has been used for centuries to trigger the body’s natural healing response through the stimulation of acupressure points throughout the body. This action enhances your body’s ability to resist or overcome illnesses and conditions by correcting imbalances. Acupuncture also prompts your body to produce chemicals that naturally decrease or eliminate painful sensations.
Simply put, stimulating acupressure points (muscle and sensory neurons) triggers your brain for the release of endorphins (natural painkillers) and other chemicals (neurotransmitters) that modify nerve impulses. This helps block pain messages between the targeted nerves and your brain, and this, in turn, eliminates your discomfort.
Acupuncture is known to be very effective for treating numerous chronic pain conditions, including:
Acupuncture also relieves pain associated with muscle sprains and strains, tendinitis as well as sciatica and other nerve compression disorders. It’s also beneficial for relieving pelvic pain due to painful menstrual periods and discomfort following childbirth and/or surgical procedures.
