Acupuncture for Pain Management | Acupuncture for Pain
Pain is the body's warning that something is wrong and needs attention. Unfortunately, the human nerve pathways can become confused or overloaded, and signal pain even when something isn't wrong. Or there might be a problem, such as an injury or disease, in which case the pain is very real and the root cause might not be able to be remedied. In either case, acupuncture can provide pain relief in a variety of ways. Acupuncture for pain relief can help re-program the body-mind connection in such a way that the pain itself can be mitigated, and/or the brain can be trained to interpret pain differently.

When an injury or disease occurs and sends pain signals to the brain, the nerve pathway(s) can sometimes create a pain pattern. Even when the main source of the original pain signal has dissipated, the brain can be "tricked" into feeling continued pain. This is especially true when a person is depressed, fatigued, under stress, or feeling anxiety. Any small pain event can seem much more magnified when we are in a negative state of mind. Acupuncture stimulates nerve and energy pathways to reverse blockages and restore balanced signaling and healthy energy flow. This can undo harmful pain patterns that have been established.
Once the body has re-established healthy energy flow, it releases endorphins or "feel good" hormones which can create natural pain relief. Reduced inflammation allows the body's healing mechanisms to work more efficiently and heal damaged tissues which further mitigate the pain. Nautropathic doctors can also work with patients to make dietary and/or lifestyle changes which can also help to reduce pain.

Phoenix Acupuncture for Holistic Pain Management
Whether you need acupuncture for back pain, acupuncture or migraines, or to treat the symptoms of arthritis or fibromyalgia, acupuncture is a holistic pain management tool that can prevent the need for prescription pain medications. Conventional medicine often prescribes pain medication as the immediate antidote to discomfort. Unfortunately, this can create more problems for the patient. Pain meds can ultimately lower a patients pain threshold, create a dependency or addictive relationship, and can cause other symptoms such as drowsiness, digestive issues, lack of focus, nausea, etc. that are equally as debilitating as the original pain.
Acupuncture works with the body's natural pain relief system to maintain a healthy and positive energetic flow, while reducing inflammation, boosting immune function, and promoting relaxation. These can be the key to either total pain relief, or creating a more balanced environment where pain is interpreted in a way that is more tolerable for the emotional and physical body.
