ACUPUNCTURE FOR ACHES & PAINS
Many people can cope with the odd niggle or fleeting pain however, when it begins to affect your normal daily activities such as doing your job, looking after children or enjoying exercise or sport, it’s time to do something about it.
The good news is there are many modern clinical studies which support the use of acupuncture for aches and particularly its effectiveness in reducing pain.
A Western study carried out at the University of Michigan Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Centre in May 2009, found that acupuncture is able to affect the brain’s ability to reduce and regulate pain. Therefore, acupuncture can be an effective solution.
ACUPUNCTURE FOR BACK PAIN
Back pain is very common. 8 out of 10 of us will experience back pain in our lifetime. We can experience back pain at any age but more commonly over the age of 35. Episodes of back pain can be short-lived or can stay with us for a lifetime.
Acupuncture may help to reduce pain and increase blood flow to the affected area. This relaxes the muscles, reducing any tension and dealing with inflammation.
