How acupuncture relieves pain
Acupuncture stimulates the body’s ability to spontaneously heal injuries to the tissue through the nervous, immune, and endocrine system by creating “micro-traumas.” As the body heals the micro-traumas induced by acupuncture, it also heals any surrounding tissue damage left over from old injuries.
Experience healing through acupuncture!
Acupuncture releases natural painkillers — working with the insertion of the needle to send a signal through the nervous system to the brain — where chemicals such as endorphins, norepinephrine, and enkephalin are released. Some of these substances are 10-200 times more potent than morphine.
Sports injuries and pain
Pain is one of the most common complaints in sports injuries followed by reduced function and mobility. The whole approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture is the treatment of pain and to better improve any lost function or mobility.
The acupuncture treatment is geared toward rectifying the disorder and restoring internal harmony.
Acupuncture has a very successful record with sports injuries. Many professional sports teams have acupuncturists on staff to decrease healing times and resolve stubborn ailments.
The use of acupuncture to treat acute injuries from intense or repetitive physical activity began centuries ago. It was, and still is, one of the primary means of quick healing for the martial arts.
Improve recovery time with acupuncture!
Specific acupuncture styles and techniques were developed to stop pain and dramatically increase recovery time. This tradition continues today and its use has expanded into competitive athletics that result in similar injuries. Recent studies show that acupuncture effectively treats sports injuries such as strains, sprains, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle pain, swollen muscles and shin splints. In addition to treating the injury, acupuncture can also improve performance and give athletes a competitive edge.
The largest clinical study of acupuncture ever conducted was published in the December 2004 Annals of Internal Medicine and found acupuncture to significantly reduce and improve function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. In recent years, acupuncture has become more popular in Western countries and is now recognized by the National Institute of Health as an acceptable form of treatment for pain.
