Acupuncture for Relieving Chronic Pain

By Jexy Rodriguez                

Many people learn to live with chronic pain and do not consult a specialist to help relieve the daily ailments. In some cases, ignorance of the pathology or the widespread belief that aging means to live with pain, many do not receive the appropriate treatment capable of subtracting pain, slow the evolution of the pathology and, therefore, improve their quality of life.

Currently, we are living in a new era in medicine, since the alternative medicine is added to the traditional medicine, which combined to achieve better results in the inhibition of chronic pain. One of those techniques, which is gaining adherents every day, is acupuncture.

Acupuncture is effective in 49 diseases and disorders

This traditional Chinese technique arises from the conception of the body as a network of interconnected points through which energy flows. When there is a blockage or stagnation of that energy in the canal, it is when the pain occurs.

The acupuncture is to stimulate anatomical locations on the skin through the insertion of thin metal needles. Their placement in specific areas of the body called acupuncture points, allow better electrical conduction which is capable of provoking biological responses in the patient. In this way, they (acupuncturists) provoke stimuli in the nervous, hormonal and immune system that manage to restore the body to a state of equilibrium.

Such is its effectiveness, that the World Health Organization has described this technique as an effective option against pain. In addition, it is effective in at least 49 diseases and disorders. Especially, it has demonstrated great benefits in the treatment of low back pain, postoperative pain, and fibromyalgia, neuropathic, joint and musculoskeletal pain. It also acts on hormonal and nervous system levels.

Although it is a simple and painless technique, it is not completely innocuous, special care should be taken in pregnant patients, in infected areas, patients with blood clotting problems or serious neurological or psychiatric disorders. Even so, it is necessary to go to the pain specialist beforehand, who will determine the suitability of alternative medicine in the case of each patient.

Benefits of Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been shown to have benefits in the treatment of chronic pain, but also in many other aspects, such as improvement in physical recovery, digestion or reduction of stress, anxiety, and depression. It has also been seen as improving the circulation of blood since it regulates the blood flow favoring the contribution of nutrients and oxygen in the body.

This method of traditional Chinese medicine has been used for several years in different hospitals throughout Europe and U.S and has already begun to be implemented in some centers in the Middle East for treating chronic pain and improve the quality of life of patients.

Medications are often not enough to treat chronic pain, but there are alternative therapies that are showing success in dealing with this condition. Although the pain is supposed to be good because it warns us of injuries, infections or illnesses, it is not so useful when it never goes away.

A better way to relieve pain

Chronic pain can come from many causes, from migraines to cancer, and persist from a few months to live after injury or illness. It can disrupt sleep, because of depression and anxiety, lower libido, affect social relationships and affect memory and cognitive functioning.

Usually, the first defense against this threat is medication, but not enough and carries risks like upset stomach or addiction. That is why more and more people are turning to acupuncture to relieve chronic pain.

Science is slowly incorporating this ancient practice of Chinese medicine, although experts have not yet discovered why inserting needles into the skin helps relieve back pain, injury, and diseases such as fibromyalgia. According to some specialists, acupuncture blocks pain signals or stimulates the body to release painkillers.

Several studies showed that patients who received acupuncture had less migraine or injury pain than those receiving standard drug treatments. Even when progress was modest, the great advantage of this practice was the lack of side effects. In addition, even if the needles are not placed exactly along the meridians (energy channels, according to Chinese tradition), patients receive equal benefits and if done correctly, this procedure causes little or no discomfort.

Among its many benefits, Acupuncture helps to improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure, encourage the elimination of toxic products through the lymphatic system, improve muscle tone, prevent muscle atrophy, and reduce emotional stress.

Scientists know that physical contact helps in reducing pain, although they do not know how this mechanism works. In addition, specialists argue that soft touch and acupuncture therapy decreases the production of cortisol, a stress-releasing hormone (in turn, associated with increased pain). However, despite all positive studies, experts are still not sure how many messages need to be applied or what type they should be before a particular pathology.

Why I Believe In Acupuncture?

By Richard Brody                       

My first exposure to acupuncture, was in the 1970's, when I observed, at a hospital, in New York City, a demonstration, of using acupuncture, as a primary anesthetic, instead of drugs, chemicals, gas, or any of the usual methods, This amazed me, because, there appeared to be no pain or discomfort, during the procedure, and was, obviously, somewhat safer, and non - invasive, than other approaches. This experience opened, my mind, to learn more about acupuncture, and how it might have benefits, in a variety of circumstances, and conditions. More than a decade, later, I was experience spasms, in my jaw, apparently, after oral surgery, because, I have a small mouth, and the stretching, created, a reaction or trisma. After a few days, we were in New York's, Chinatown, and I noticed, a sign, behind a Chinese Herb shop, for an acupuncturist, on the premises. I felt, I should try it, because I believed, either it would benefit me, or, at the very least, there would be, no detrimental, side - effects. Less than an hour later, my discomfort was permanently, relieved!

1. Shoulder/ knee/ lower back discomfort/ pain: After decades of athletics, and other use, I experienced significant shoulder pain and discomfort. I went to an Orthopedist, who stated, the cartilage, was reduced, and there was a degree of bone - on - bone, rubbing, etc. He explained the challenges of shoulder surgery, and stated, I might benefit from a cortisone shot. Unfortunately, the shot did not help, and the discomfort continued. Someone told me, about a great acupuncturist, in my town, and, so, I made an appointment. For the last several years, I have gone, approximately, fifteen, to twenty times, to this doctor, and, found a considerable amount of relief, from the treatments. While the underlying cause of the issue, including arthritis, and excess use, remained, the treatments appeared to reduce the inflammation, and, for two, to three weeks, at a time, are extremely beneficial, to me. When I've experienced discomfort/ pain, in my knees, and/ or lower back, these treatments have been quite helpful, etc.

2. Weight management: While I have not used acupuncture for weight management, I have come into contact, with many individuals, who have.

3. Stress/ tension: I have observed, numerous successful treatments, with those, using acupuncture, to relieve their stress, and tensions, in a non - invasive, non - drug, manner.

If we open, our minds, to the benefits of age - old, successful treatments, such as acupuncture, many illnesses and challenges, might be addressed, successfully, in a safe, reliable way. The more, we know, and examine, alternatives, the better off, we all might be, from a health - perspective!

How to Get Maximum Benefits From Acupuncture Treatment for Neuropathy

By Li Zheng        

A sound mind resides in a sound body. For the body to be fit, it is essential for a person to get proper rest, exercise regularly, maintain a well-balanced and nutritious diet, get six to eight hours of sleep and keep away from habits like smoking, drinking and eating fast foods. When a person experiences numbness or weakness in his or her hands, legs or other parts of the body or demonstrates impaired reflexes, this may be a sign of peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy can affect any or all of the nerve groups, including sensory nerves, motor nerves and autonomic nerves. People with peripheral neuropathy may show the following signs:

• Numbness and tingling sensations in the hands or feet,
• Acute stabbing pain
• Drop in the blood pressure
• Heaviness in arms and legs
• Weakness of the hands and legs

Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy

Various factors leading to nerve damage are enumerated below-

• Pinched nerves due to herniated disc or muscle spasm
• Glucose intolerance
• Reynaud's disease
• Lupus
• Diabetes
• Kidney disorders
• Hypothyroidism
• Vitamin deficiency, especially of C, B-1, B-6, or B-12

Consulting a neurologist or neurosurgeon who would assess your present health condition and diagnose your nervous disorder would help you get a picture of your prognosis.

Treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy

Before finalizing the right course of treatment for peripheral neuropathy, it is essential to find out the exact cause that has led to this disorder. If it is caused by a vitamin deficiency, then a change in the diet along with vitamin therapy would be helpful. Likewise, if the nerve damage is due to alcohol abuse or taking a certain medication or toxic substance, then avoiding the substance can restore the health of nerves. One main factor contributing to nerve inflammation is a high sugar and high salt diet. Even you do not have diabetes, avoiding processed food and sweets will save your nerve function, so that, when you reach 90 years old, you still can walk and think normally.

Alternative Medical therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy

Acupuncture has been found to be highly effective for patients with peripheral neuropathy. Besides the pain relief, patients also experience a marked improvement in nerve conduction after completing the acupuncture course specified by the acupuncturist. The number of treatments depends on each person's medical condition; for a chronic condition, a few months will be required to recover the nerve function.

Researchers have revealed that electro-acupuncture has helped regenerate nerve cells in rats suffering from spinal cord injuries. There are also human studies that have indicated that acupuncture can bring back the normal sensation of the nerves in the hands and feet. Furthermore, acupuncture can help the hands regain their strength. If after a nerve injury, you still have developed muscle atrophy after doing physical therapy for a few months, it is the right time to start acupuncture treatment to help the nerves regenerate as soon as possible.

Nervous disorders that acupuncture can correct

Whether it is alcohol, tobacco or junk food addiction, or it is Bell's palsy, dementia, headache or a migraine or stroke, getting acupuncture treatment from a specialist and completing a 12 to 24 course of treatments would provide sufficient blood flow to the nerves. If diabetes is the major cause of nerve damage, then acupuncture treatment can also prevent a spike in blood sugar level induced by sugar intake and will help stabilize the sugar level in the blood.

Complications of peripheral neuropathy include falls, infection, burns and skin trauma. Besides getting specialized acupuncture treatment, patients should make healthy choices related to their food, exercise and lifestyle. This would help them minimize the risk factors and prevent any further nerve damage, thereby enabling them to enjoy a long and healthy life.

Some of the important things you need to take care are as follows:-

• Include fruits, green vegetables, whole grain and protein in your diet for healthy nerves
• Exercise 30 minutes-1 hour three times a week to improve the circulation to the peripheral nerves
• Avoid smoking or excess drinking, spicy food, exposure to drugs or toxic chemicals.

How Acupuncture Can Help Your Body

By Grant Nichol

This article looks at the health benefits of acupuncture treatment and how acupuncture can help your body.

Acupuncture is a famous treatment procedure for a wide range of health conditions. It is a drug-free approach that entails inserting thin needles through the skin at specific body points. So, when and where did it originate from? How does it work? What are the health benefits of acupuncture treatment? Does it have any side effects? Read on to find out everything you need to know about acupuncture.

When and where did it originate from?

Acupuncture is the oldest form of treatment dating back to around 2nd century B.C. Its roots can be traced back to China where it started before spreading to other parts of the world. Despite the rapid growth and inventions in the medical field, Acupuncture has proven its worthiness and its still being used alongside modern medical practices.

What health conditions is it used to combat?

Acupuncture is used to fight various health conditions related to the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory systems of the body. Such conditions include acute bronchitis, chronic tonsillitis, migraine, infertility, lower back pain, bronchial asthma, chronic sinusitis, rheumatoid arthritis, facial paralysis, spasm of the cardia and esophagus, and many more. This procedure can also be used to combat addictions such as smoking and alcoholism. Acupuncture corrects imbalances in the major organs of the body which is the primary origin of many diseases hence preventing their development.

How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture is based on the assumption that most health conditions develop due to blockage or interruption of the body's life energy flow. This interruption or blockage of flow results to the accumulation of fluid in some parts of the body resulting in swelling and pain due to excess pressure. A blockage also cuts out the supply of nutrients to all parts of the body leading to malnutrition. This makes one feel fatigue, weak and even experience slow healing if they have injuries on these parts.

Acupuncture removes blockages in the body hence relieving pain and swelling, allowing nutrients to reach all body parts thus making one to be relaxed. The body's energy balance is restored making one feel vibrant and energized. This treatment approach involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body called acupuncture points. Depending on the condition being treated, the points of insertion and the number of needles may vary from one person to another. The needles used in the treatment are pre-sterilised and should be used only once. They are inserted just under the skin or deeper to reach the muscle where are they left in place for around 20 to 40 minutes. In some cases, the needles may be rotated or stimulated using a mild electric current. At the end of the session, you will get a deep sense of relaxation.

Does it hurt?

The procedure is not painful, but one may experience a tingling or warm sensation when the practitioner is inserting the needles. If you experience too much pain, numbness or any other form of discomfort, let the practitioner know immediately.

Benefits of acupuncture?

• No significant side effects as compared to using drugs
• Can be combined with other forms of treatments when carried out appropriately
• One gets personalized therapy according to their needs
• Works both as a preventive and treatment measure
• One can comfortably continue with their normal life even when undergoing this procedure

These are all good examples of how acupuncture can help your body.

Side effects of acupuncture

• Soreness, bruising and bleeding on the points of insertion (Risky for patients with a bleeding disorder or users of blood thinners)

Other alarming side effects of acupuncture procedure mostly arise from poor hygiene and training of the practitioner. Such include;

• Infection because of using unsterilized needlesof internal organs especially the lungs which can collapse
• Wrong angle of inserting needles or doing it too deeply resulting damage

Why Acupuncture can be a better approach to healing than using modern western drugs:

Modern western drugs have side effects that sometimes even outdo the condition the drugs are meant to treat. This means they will do more harm than good, especially when used over a long period. Acupuncture, on the other hand, doesn't leave behind significant side-effects if it's carried out safely by the right professional. Another good example of how acupuncture can help your body.

The different kinds of acupuncture include:

Electroacupuncture

This type of acupuncture involves rotating the needles once they are inserted in the body or stimulating them using a mild electric current. It gives the patient a tingling sensation which some practitioners say it facilitates healing.

Body Acupuncture

This is the most common type of acupuncture which entails inserting fine needles into various points on the body ranging from the toe to the head. The treatment is used to fight a wide range of conditions.

Auricular acupuncture

This type of acupuncture entails inserting fine needles in the ear where it is believed there are acupuncture points that represent all parts of the body. The procedure is useful in combating addictions such as alcohol or smoking, and when combined with body acupuncture, it can help treat infertility.

Acupressure and Acu-Acoustics

With this type of acupuncture, the practitioner massages or presses key acupuncture points. This acupuncture is useful in combating fatigue, skin conditions or painful conditions such as migraine. Patients don't necessarily need to visit clinics when undergoing this type of procedure. They can learn how to carry out this type of acupuncture with the help of their practitioners or programs such as Natural Synergy system. This way, they will be taught how to identify critical points and massage themselves at the comfort of their home. Of cause, no practitioner will readily teach you how to do this type of treatment on your own because they will be losing customers.

Most of them charge per session and the more sessions you attend, the better for them pocket-wise. But what about you? Are you getting any better? Are there any inconveniences on your side such time or privacy? If the answers to the preceding questions are no and yes respectively, maybe you need an alternative.

Natural Synergy

Natural Synergy is a program designed to teach you the art of acupressure and help you achieve your health goals at the comfort of your home. Emily J. Parker was the mind behind this program where she aims to help patients eliminate the root cause of various diseases instead of fighting the symptoms only like how most medications do.

The program teaches you how to use acupressure to clear blockages in the body to make it function naturally and smoothly for overall well-being.
