Controlling your pain is essential for your well-being. There is relief available but it is not available to you if you do not discuss your concerns with a physician. I wait until my pain is severe before I seek relief. Pain is easier to control when it is mild, not severe. Taking steps to prevent the pain before it gets out of control puts less stress on the body and the mind.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into well-defined points in the body.
These points are called acupoints. Each site is carefully chosen because of its physiological effects. The release of specific enzymes, like endorphins and encephlins provide relief from pain. Many patients have tried numerous therapies to relieve their pain. Medications, physical therapy, nerve blocks, and surgical procedures are common treatments for managing pain.
