Acupuncture for Pain Relief
Are you tired of living with pain?
In today’s world we often think we need to power through our pain or discomfort. Maybe you’ve been told that you need to put up with it – because your pain is “part of getting older” or “part of being a woman”.
But all types of pain including headaches, back pain and menstrual cramps should not be part of your routine. It is possible to get effective relief, if medication is not working for you or if you are interested in a more natural approach.
We offer pain relief strategies that strengthen and nourish the body, and let you get back to the lifestyle that you may be missing.
How does Acupuncture help with pain?
Increases circulation
Acupuncture helps to enhance the flow of fresh blood to an area – thereby increasing the flow of oxygen and fresh nutrients. This helps to speed up the healing process by flushing out waste products, toxins and stagnant blood.
Boosts endorphins
Studies suggest that needling acupuncture points can help the body produce endorphins (the body’s “Happy Hormones”). These hormones help our bodies reduce pain, relieve stress and give us a natural boost.
Helps reduce inflammation
Acupuncture helps to regulate our body’s natural inflammatory signals if they are over-reacting. It does this by helping us get a better handle on stress, relieving muscle tension, increasing circulation and helping strengthen our immune system.
Parasympathetic Response
Acupuncture helps us achieve a desired “rest and digest” mode, which is the time during which our body naturally re-sets and re-generates. In this mode your body is able to restore itself and start to heal.
Relieves muscle tension
Acupuncture is very effective in helping with pain due to muscle tension by accessing trigger points in muscles. When stimulated by acupuncture needles, your muscles release and pain and tension can be relieved.
Works on body and mind
Stress can be a big factor in pain and vice versa. Acupuncture helps relax and calm the nervous system, allowing you to sleep better and feel more resilient against pain.
