An Acupuncturist can help relieve that Chronic Pain

Do you suffer from chronic pain resulting from Arthritis, migraines, back pain, neck pain, tennis elbow, chronic fatigue syndrome, or fibromyalgia? An acupuncturist can help to relieve that pain. If you’re like most people, the pills and injections stop working after a while and you have to either up the dosage or change medications, both of which can be dangerous. Acupuncture works differently. We stimulate or numb nerve clusters in the body to help you deal with the pain naturally, without putting a potentially harmful substance into your system. It’s a much safer option, particularly for long-term treatment for pain that will recur often for years.

Chronic pain is the kind of pain that never goes away. Bhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifack and neck pain that is caused by an injury or accident usually falls into this category. If the injury comes when you’re older, the medications you’re prescribed for pain may not do too much damage to you, but if you’re hurt when you’re young it’s a different story. The long term side effects on your liver and kidneys could be more harmful than the injury itself. Knowing that, many people choose to live with the pain or take less medication. Neither is necessary.

Our acupuncturist in Encino offers a different pain management solution. Ahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifcupuncture works on the body to help you relieve pain naturally, without putting harmful chemicals into your body. For chronic pain where you’ll be dealing with multiple treatments over months and years, it has far less of an impact on the body. Not only that, but you won’t get the shakes or drowsiness when you either take or don’t take your medication. Wouldn’t that be a nice change of pace?

Even older patients find that acupuncture is a better option for pain management. Prescription drugs are expensive and seniors become dependent upon them once they start taking them. It’s a horrible position to be in when you have to make a choice between medication and food. The results of one acupuncture session are long lasting and the rates are affordable enough to make it a viable alternative to pain therapy with drugs.
