National Institutes of Health Recommends Acupuncture for Pain

It’s Time to Try Acupuncture

How does acupuncture work for pain?  Needles inserted into specific acupuncture points target the central nervous system.  This effect can release endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing chemicals. One’s mood can also be enhanced as acupuncture can also stimulate the part of the brain that governs serotonin (the happy hormone).

National Institutes of Health (NIH) studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment alone or in combination with conventional therapies to treat the following:

·       Nausea caused by surgical anesthesia and cancer chemotherapy

·       Dental pain after surgery

·       Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ)

·       Addiction

·       Headaches and Migraines

·       Menstrual cramps

·       Tennis elbow

·       Fibromyalgia

·       Myofascial pain

·       Osteoarthritis

·       Low back and neck pain

·       Carpal tunnel syndrome

·       Asthma
