Questions About Acupuncture & Pain Management
-
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this helps balance the flow of "qi" (pronounced "chee"), or vital energy. Modern research suggests that acupuncture may stimulate the nervous system, release endorphins (the body's natural painkillers), and improve blood circulation, all of which can help reduce pain and promote healing.
-
Acupuncture can be effective for managing a variety of pain conditions common in women, including:
Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea): acupuncture may help alleviate cramps and discomfort associated with menstruation.
Pelvic pain: conditions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) can sometimes benefit from acupuncture treatments.
Lower back pain: acupuncture is commonly used to treat chronic or acute lower back pain, which many women experience, especially during pregnancy or menopause.
Headaches/migraines: acupuncture may reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.
Joint pain and arthritis: women, especially postmenopausal women, may experience joint pain due to conditions like osteoarthritis, which acupuncture can help manage.
