Acupuncture for PAIN MANAGEMENT

Acupuncture is known well for its efficacy with pain cases. There are two explanation for this East and West. Traditionally pain is cause by the disruption or stagnation of Qi and blood. This may occur due to injury, strain, sprain or any kind of irritation. With acupuncture applied to certain areas and as Qi and blood are restored pain and discomfort will subside. 

Common physiological pain such as sciatica, neck, back and shoulders, patients experience relief  often with their first acupuncture treatment. However it is important that patients continue treatment to ensure a complete elimination of  the problem.

More internal pain such as those related to menstrual, headachesincluding migraines or pain related to digestion, depending on severity  may require additional mode of treatment such as herbs or moxibustion.
