Chronic Pain
What is chronic pain?
Chronic pain is pain that continues to last beyond the usual time expected to heal from an injury or condition. Any pain that has lasted for more than 3 months is considered to be chronic pain. In some cases, chronic pain can begin and exist without any known reason or cause.

How can acupuncture help?
Chronic pain can be difficult to treat and in many cases becomes an issue of managing the pain as opposed to curing the pain completely. Acupuncture has been shown to provide effective pain relief, particularly with chronic pain sufferers. Acupuncture improves circulation to the affected areas which in turn will reduce pain. Scientific studies have also shown acupuncture to block the pain signals from reaching the brain. As a pain management treatment, acupuncture offers a natural drug free alternative to taking heavy pain medications over a prolonged period of time.
Acupuncture and Stress |
|
Stress is ever so prevalent in today's society that for some it is a daily occurrence. We are all very well aware of the effects prolonged stress can have on the body, however when it comes to treating and managing stress, many seem to think that there isn't much we can do about it.
Acupuncture used as a treatment for stress has proven to be highly successful over the years. By regulating the flow and balance of Qi (energy) in the body, acupuncture can reduce your stress and anxiety and at the same time boost your energy. |
