How Acupuncture May Help Provide Pain Relief and Pain Management

Acupuncture was used in China in ancient times. At that time, it was believed that there were various energy pathways throughout the body that the chi, or energy, flowed through. This chi could be blocked in various areas of those pathways, and this was what caused pain. Acupuncture was developed as a way to stop those blockages so that the chi can flow through the pathways again. Today, it's been shown that using acupuncture spurs the body to release pain-relieving chemicals, and this is what may help cause pain relief. 

Acupuncture can be used for a number of different health problems. When you get holistic care from our chiropractor, you might use it to potentially help with pain relief or managing other health problems. Some patients get acupuncture to help treat their migraines or other headaches. Others might try it for their back pain, fibromyalgia, nausea that results from chemotherapy, sciatica, pain after injuries, and more.
