Back Pain Slowing You Down?

Scientists are beginning to uncover acupuncture's 2000 years of success treating back pain.

ENDORPHINS

Researchers are studying how acupuncture speeds the relay of electromagnetic signals along nerves. This triggers the flow of endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing chemicals.

INFLAMMATION

Acupuncture also works by calming the inflammatory processes of the immune system. By triggering the formation of specialized inflammatory resolving cells, acupuncture triggers healing and recovery.

NATURAL OPIODS

Acupuncture has also been shown to release the body's own opioids. These are chemicals in the brain that may lessen pain and promote sleep.

DRUG-FREE RELIEF

Acupuncture also changes brain chemistry by the release of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters can stimulate or dampen nerve impulses.

I'm surprised, but I actually look forward to my treatment sessions now. When I started out, I wasn't too excited about the needles. They aren't nearly as bad as I first thought.
