Acupuncture for Pain Management

Many people suffer with pain, but acupuncture can offer an alternative approach to traditional methods for managing pain. As acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals, it can help reduce pain perception. It can also reduce inflammation and improve circulation, facilitating the body's natural healing response and reducing pain and stiffness in affected areas.  These are the types of pain that acupuncture can help with:

Musculoskeletal Pain

Musculoskeletal pain, such as back pain, neck pain, knee pain, tendonitis and osteoarthritis, is one of the most common reasons why people seek acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture is often used alongside other forms of treatment, such as cupping, gua sha or electro acupuncture to improve the circulation of blood which promotes muscle healing, relieve tension in muscles by releasing muscle knots, reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility.

Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is characterised by shooting or burning sensations, tingling, and numbness, and often arises from nerve damage or dysfunction. Conditions such as diabetic neuropathy or sciatica can respond well to acupuncture and alleviate discomfort.

Headaches and Migraines

For many sufferers of chronic headaches and migraines, acupuncture can offer a drug-free alternative to pain relief.  As acupuncture aims to treat the root cause of symptoms, it can help reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of headaches. It can also help alleviate associated symptoms, such as nausea or sensitivity to light.
