How Acupuncture Helps With Pain Management
1. Stimulates the Body’s Natural Painkillers
Triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Also increases levels of serotonin and dopamine, which help reduce pain perception and improve mood.
2. Reduces Inflammation
Improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce swelling and inflammation in injured or painful areas.
Aids in faster tissue repair and recovery.
3. Relaxes Muscles and Relieves Tension
Releases tight or knotted muscles that contribute to pain, especially in the neck, back, shoulders, and joints.
Restores proper alignment and mobility.
4. Modulates the Nervous System
Balances the autonomic nervous system, calming overactive pain signals sent to the brain.
Especially helpful for chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and neuropathy.
5. Targets Root Causes
Unlike medications that mask pain, acupuncture aims to address the underlying imbalances causing the pain, whether structural, emotional, or energetic.
