Acupuncture Relieves Pain

From migraines to muscle tears, acupuncture is one of the safest and most effective ways to combat pain. our techniques, including Acupuncture, cupping and gua sha alleviate pain through many different mechanisms in the body, including the following:

- Needles at specific points stimulate hormones and neural transmitters to decrease our perception of pain, allowing us to sleep, exercise and engage in other healthy activities that further promote healing and decrease pain.

- For chronic injuries, acupuncture needles create “microtears,” which signal the body to send restorative blood, hormones and compounds to the area, engaging the healing process and repairing damage with new, healthy tissure.

- Needles relieve muscle tension by engaging trigger points, causing the muscle to fasciculate, or contract and relax. When muscles are stimulated in this way, it allows them to release tension. Usually after this type of treatment, patients find muscle tension melts away – often tension that they have taken for granted for years.

- Pain is referred to in Chinese texts as qi or blood stagnation. Acupuncture points along the meridians have been used for millennia to encourage and balance the movement of qi and blood through the body. As written in one of the most important texts of Chinese Medicine, the 2,000 year old Huang Di Nei Jing, “if there is free flow, there is no pain; if there is pain, there is lack of free flow.”
