Relieve All Pain In Your Joints And Muscles With Acupuncture

March 22, 2018

Acupuncture is a Chinese technique that has been in existence for many years now. It is an alternative method of treatment, which can help treat several issues. 8.2 million Americans have tried it at some point in their lives.

There are several different kinds of acupuncture techniques, which include:

  • Auricular acupuncture
  • Chinese scalp acupuncture
  • Energetic acupuncture

Acupuncture is quite effective for pain management. Here is a look at some benefits of this method of treatment:

It makes you feel energetic

Ancient Chinese traditions place a great deal of emphasis on the flow of energy in the human body. This vital energy is referred to as ‘Qi’. One reason why people tend to get sick or suffer from pain is the imbalance in the flow of ‘Qi’.

There are several reasons for the imbalance of energy in your body. It can because of tensed up muscles or stress. Acupuncture revolves around insertion of needles in different areas of your body. This helps removes the blockage in the area in which you are feeling pain.

As a result, energy starts flowing through your body again. You feel a lot more energetic. It also boosts your immune system and helps you recover from ailments and pain.

It provides relief from chronic pain

Your joints wear down over the years. This leads to inflammation, which is the cause for pain and stiffness. With acupuncture, the goal is to reduce the inflammation in your joints.

The needles that are inserted in different areas of your body stimulate the ‘pressure points’. As a result, the flow of blood in that particular area improves. It also results in your brain releasing natural painkillers. These hormones accelerate the healing process.

Acupuncture helps you sleep

People who suffer from issues like joint pains often struggle with going to sleep. Disturbed sleep patterns can lead to additional problems for you. Lack of sleep weakens your body’s immune system. As a result, your body does not recover from pain quickly.

Sometimes, people tend to take pain medication however, those are not always effective and can be addictive as well. Acupuncture on the other hand is a completely natural process.

Sometimes people might struggle with going to sleep due to stress. Acupuncture can help in that regard as well. As mentioned, previously, the brain releases hormones when the pressure points are stimulated. These hormones are known as endorphins.

Endorphins are similar to Morphine and trigger a positive feeling in the body. They help alleviate the stress and make you feel euphoric.
