Questions on Pain Relief Acupuncture?

  • 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:

    • Pelvic pain: conditions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) can sometimes benefit from acupuncture treatments.
