Acupuncture is well-known all over the world. Even when a lot of people are afraid of needles, it’s still one of the most sought-after pain relief treatments.
For those of you who still don’t know, acupuncture is performed by inserting very thin needles through a person's skin at specific points on the body. It is a 2,000-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine that describes as many as 356 mapped points situated on meridians or channels of energy flow on the surface of our body.
The many benefits of getting an Acupuncture
If you have pain management issues, allergies, migraines, sinusitis, osteoarthritis, tennis elbow or post-stroke paralysis, you may want to consider acupuncture. Even if you’re just seeking a treatment to help you relax and feel more energized after, acupuncture is a suitable treatment.
Here are some of the top advantages of acupuncture:
1. Helps manage pain and reduces inflammation
Continuously sitting with poor posture at work will lead to back pain. Acupuncture can help you to better deal with pain by increasing circulation to relieve tight muscles. It can also help to soothe swelling and inflammation since acupuncture is a natural anti-inflammatory treatment that can boost the production of your body’s natural painkillers.
2. Relieves headaches
Acupuncture is a famous treatment for headaches, especially if you want a drug-free remedy. It can also help to reduce your sick days due to migraines.
3. Improves women’s health
Small-scale studies have shown that with consistent acupuncture, women can reduce menstrual pain over time. It also helps you to sleep better and relieve the psychological repercussions of fertility treatments if you’re getting any.
4. Improves osteoarthritis pain
Studies have concluded that people who got acupuncture reported slightly less pain compared to those who didn’t get the treatment. Although the results are not significant enough, for patients suffering from osteoarthritis pain, even a slight improvement is a great relief.
5. Relaxing and reduces stress
Acupuncture can help to reduce stress hormones and anxiety. The treatment itself is very relaxing. It applies Qi in Chinese medicine that focuses on restoring balance and well-being.
