How Palatine Acupuncture Aids In Pain Relief

By Bob Albert Lewis


When an individual suffers from persistent pain it may not respond to traditional Western medication. In other cases, the pills provided have side effects that are worse than the condition itself. With acupuncture, there is an alternative therapy that often provides side effect free relief of such conditions. For help with persistent pain one may look to a Palatine acupuncturist.

Acupuncture involves inserting very small needles into specific areas of one body. In Eastern medicine, these points are known as meridians. The needles are said to direct the energy flow in the body to relieve pain and encourage healing. In Western medicine teaches the needles are massaging one's peripheral nervous system. This massage allows the body to naturally reset itself.

The brain creates natural pain relievers or chemical messengers such as norepinephrine and serotonin. Sometimes, after an injury the production of these neurotransmitters is interrupted. Acupuncture helps in the regulation of these chemicals, healing and pain relief.

Acupuncture is used in providing therapy for many different types of pain. It has proven helpful when individuals suffer from injuries to the neck, back or knee. In addition, it may be helpful with certain psychiatric conditions. Soldiers returning from war may see improvement after suffering combat fatigue or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition, individuals suffering depression may find help through the therapy.

Many people are not able to tolerate the undesirable side effects brought by certain medications needed to bring pain relief. However stopping the use of these medications can bring uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Acupuncture has been shown to allow one to stop use of pain medication without experience withdrawal symptoms.

When pain tries to rob an individual of living life to the fullest, a Palatine acupuncturist can help. The therapy that is provided can retrain one's body to overcome such pain. In addition, the natural healing process can be improved giving the gift of better overall health.
