Doctors Say Treatment of Pain with Acupuncture works!<\/h3>\n

NHS doctors\u00a0are beginning to\u00a0use acupuncture along with\u00a0other treatment,\u00a0but the availability is very limited.<\/p>\n

How Does Acupuncture Help Pain?<\/h3>\n

Chinese medicine says there a re energy pathways in our bodies. They call them meridians. They use acupuncture to unblock or bring new energy into the energy pathways.<\/p>\n

This has not been measured by doctors, but the NHS are beginning to use acupuncture now because it works!<\/p>\n

Some theories have been accepted as scientific explanations of acupuncture mechanisms such as Gate Theory of Pain and The Two Gate Control Theory.<\/p>\n

Research has shown that acupuncture affects our biological systems. It can help body \u00a0release \u00a0hormones, disable \u00a0receptors & activate \u00a0anti-inflammatory chemicals. It is believed that this comes from acupuncture working on our nervous system. Acupuncture also promotes relaxation & reduces sensitivity to pain.<\/p>\n

In a study published in “Archives of Internal Medicine” on 10th Sept 2012, researchers led by Andrew Vickers reported that acupuncture is effective in reducing chronic pain. This study reviewed 29 previous studies involving 17,922 people. It gave strong evidence that acupuncture benefits some types of chronic pain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
