At Eastern Medicine Center, we use Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine for Pain Management. Acupuncture is a practice that is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has gained popularity in Western culture and around the world. It involves the insertion of thin needles into the skin to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues throughout the body with the goal of alleviating pain, tension, and stress. More broadly, it is believed to stimulate the body’s meridians, or energy-carrying channels, to correct imbalances and restore health.
Acupuncture has been demonstrated to enhance endogenous opiates, such as dynorphin, endorphin, and enkephalin, and release corticosteroids, relieving pain and enhancing the healing process for physical and emotional pain.
