Natural Pain Relief
Acupuncture for Pain
Acupuncture for Pain
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to provide natural pain relief. Acupuncture was brought to the United States from China in the early 70’s - to provide a pain free surgery without the use of anesthesia. Today clinical studies suggest that acupuncture is effective at reducing chronic pain occurring in the back, neck, and for migraines and other pain conditions.
At North Shore Acupuncture and Natural Medicine, we understand that no two pain conditions are a like. That’s why we tailor each acupuncture treatment to the needs of our patients! We employ the use of acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, and our natural medicine techniques to resolve pain that offers long lasting relief.
Acupuncture works to relieve pain by targeting specific points within the body to balance the autonomic nervous system and allow for endorphins to be released.
Acupuncture stimulates electrical impulses in the body and the flow of endorphins. Endorphins are the body's natural painkiller. Acupuncture needles stimulate the signals that control the flow of endorphins in the body.
Acupuncture releases naturally occurring opioids in the brain. A natural pain-relieving opioid can be released in the brain when the precise location and combination of acupuncture points are successfully implemented.
