Acupuncture & Pain Relief

Acupuncture is renowned for treating pain. With acupuncture, pain can be relieved on the spot.

Acupuncture is used to manage the following painful conditions:

  • Arthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Headaches
  • Migrines
  • Menstrual cramps
  • Post surgical pain

Pain relief is approached in two phases:

The first phase is primary relief of pain. Chronic pain responds slower than a recent injury or recent diagnosis of a pain condition. Some people experience complete pain relief on the first treatment, most experience a degree of pain relief.

The second phase involves using acupuncture to reeducate the body in addition to relieving the pain. We re-habituate the body to being pain-free.

In cases of arthritis, for example, the pain initially lessens. Then it often returns. This is because the body has become used to the pain or habituated.

This is a process. How long does this take? Until we see you and evaluate your condition we do not know. Each person is different.
