Acupuncture for Pain Beverly MA
Acupuncture for Pain:
Acupuncture for pain has been used for thousands of years to reduce pain naturally. According to the National Institutes of Health there are a number of evidence based studies that suggest that acupuncture is beneficial for pain conditions.
Acupuncture works by applying hair-thin needles to acupuncture points to release or redirect the energy or Qi. Blockages or incorrectly positioned Qi cause illness or pain. The illness or pain can be acute or chronic in nature. Typically, the more acute the illness or pain the less acupuncture treatments are needed to resolve the issue. On the other hand, if you have been suffering from issues such as, chronic low back pain or chronic knee pain, expect that there will be a need for additional acupuncture treatments for the symptoms to completely resolve. Do not let the extended treatment plan discourage you from receiving acupuncture treatment. There are evidence based research studies to show that pain relief occurs even after one acupuncture treatment.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine - Pain Relief
Many people are quick to use cold for pain relief. However evidence based acupuncture would suggest that heat is in fact better for pain relief. Applying heat to an inflamed area will dilate the blood vessels, promote blood flow, and help sore and tightened muscles relax. In addition, improved circulation can help eliminate the buildup of lactic acid waste which occurs after exercise.
Traditional Chinese Medicine would rather use heat therapy rather than cold therapy for treatment of both acute and chronic pain conditions. The reasoning is cold therapy is congealing and according to TCM will lock in the inflammation and pain. Heat therapy is strongly supported by evidence based controlled trials to be used by those suffering from arthritic conditions.
