Who Would You Be Without Your Pain?

It is estimated that over 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, resulting in over $80 billion dollars of lost income each year. While pain is all too common in the United States, natural treatments are not discussed as options even with proven success in treating chronic pain. Ancient medicines, such as Acupuncture and Herbal remedies have been shown to decrease chronic pain and have few to no side effects, unlike prescription pain killers.

Acupuncture has been used in Asia for thousands of years to treat pain. Harvard Medical School states that Acupuncture “eases everything from low back pain, to nerve pain (such as painful shingles rashes), to headaches, fibromyalgia, and menstrual cramps — and more.”

Acupuncture works by placing tiny needles (thinner than hair) into the skin at specific acupoints. The needles stay in place for 20-30 minutes, causing blocked Qi in the body to flow. Qi, pronounced “Chi” is the bodies vital life force and flow of energy. Chinese medicine believes that pain is caused by unbalanced or stagnate Qi in the body, therefore the removal of stagnate Qi will allow the body to return to homeostasis.

Acupuncture is very safe and has low complication rates. The side effects of other pain treatments are significantly higher. Psychiatry today says that over two million Americans are addicted to prescription pain medications.

Consider Acupuncture as a natural treatment for pain before you consider taking highly addictive prescription drugs or to reduce your dosage of opioids.
