One of the most common reasons for choosing treatment, Acupuncture has been recognised as an effective and natural approach to managing pain for centuries, promoting the body's natural healing mechanisms and addressing pain at its source. Acupuncture can help by:

Natural Pain Relief: Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural pain-relieving hormones, helping to reduce the intensity of pain and provide natural relief. Acupuncture also helps regulate the nervous system, calming the body's response to pain

Treatment of Underlying Causes: Acupuncture aims to address the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. This is essential for long-term

Reduction of Inflammation: Acupuncture has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, making it helpful for conditions associated with inflammation, such as arthritis, tendonitis, and chronic pain syndromes

Improved Blood Circulation: By promoting better blood flow to the affected areas, acupuncture can help reduce swelling and promote healing

Personal and Complementary Therapy: Acupuncture can be used safely alongside other pain management approaches, including physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications. We will always tailor treatment to what works for you

At Aida Acupuncture, we often include additional therapeutic treatments when treating pain. Acupuncture can be combined with cupping therapy, gua sha and moxa which give help to clear stagnation, bring new energy and blood to the affected area, improve movement and flexibility and ease pain.
