Scientists at the University of Michigan recently scanned and studied the brains of chronic pain sufferers.
They found acupuncture relieves pain by making key brain cells more sensitive to the pain-dampening effects of opioid chemicals.
Acupuncture by itself is an effective and natural way to relieve pain.
Acupuncture as complementary medicine is also a proven therapy for savvy patients who turn to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Moving the body’s Qi offers many health benefits during a treatment, pain relief, stress reduction, increased clarity and relaxation are but a few common ones.
