Pain

Chronic pain, often experienced in the head, neck, back, knees and joints, can make movement cumbersome, tiring, and often excruciating, significantly diminishing one’s quality of life. Nearly two-thirds of people with chronic pain report issues with sleep, yet it is precisely this lack of restorative rest that can also worsen the pain. People  feel trapped in a vicious cycle. Many resign themselves to the assumption that pain is an everyday, accepted part of life that can only be narrowly (and inadequately) managed.

While conventional medicine can be beneficial, indeed life-saving, it unfortunately falls short when treating pain. Drugs, the first line of treatment for chronic pain, are often prescribed. Yet, these medications routinely fail to significantly control pain and certainly do nothing to treat the underlying condition or cause. Furthermore, the use of pharmaceuticals often come with dreadful side-effects and health risks.

In the midst of the growing dissatisfaction around conventional treatment options, the use of acupuncture for the relief of chronic pain has risen significantly in recent years, even gaining support from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Medicaid as a viable and encouraging choice of treatment. Acupuncture is widely known for its safety and effectiveness in the treatment of various pain conditions. Its unique ability in reducing the suffering of patients in pain is one of the reasons acupuncture has in fact become so popular not only in the USA, but around the world.
