Acupuncture, a Time Tested Treatment
for Pain Relief
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat pain. From the Chinese medicine perspective, energy blockage and deficiency usually cause pain.
​
Energy or qi needs to flow smoothly to maintain the normal function of the body and mind. Wherever there is blockage of energy channels, there will be pain in the area. Physical trauma, emotional distress, and excessive pathogenic energy from the environment, such as heat, cold, dampness, insect bites, and excessive alcohol intake, contribute to energy blockage.
​
Acupuncture treatment is often used after evaluating energy channels and determining the types of present energy imbalances. Acupuncture treatment by a well-trained, skilled, and experienced provider can open the blocked energy channels, facilitate the energy flow, and help to re-establish the body’s natural state of energetic balance.
