Chronic pain is not well understood even by modern science.

If you suffer from chronic pain and typical therapies don’t help, I think you would agree it’s time for something different?

Pain is a typical condition treated here at the clinic. Many chronic pain suffers I see have tried everything imaginable from pain meds to surgery and still no relief. This is a tragic reality!

Modern medicine is in the midst of an opioid epidemic. Over-prescribing and overuse of opioid-based pain meds have generated debilitating addictions.

Some surgeries can be necessary but still a dangerous procedure. I have seen patients with one type of pain before surgery being replaced by another type of pain after surgery – not good.

Are you aware that Acupuncture is a safe yet often overlooked solution for chronic pain? Why is that? Acupuncture is not well know in Western culture and not well understood by conventional medicine.

So to educate people, I’ve made efforts to write articles on the effectiveness of acupuncture.

The chronic pain cases that I see have a challenging history. Consider this – most patients coming to the clinic with chronic pain have experienced poor results with many other therapies including pain meds and surgery. Although many chronic cases can be challenging, acupuncture can be very beneficial. In future articles I will give some case study examples so keep an eye out for those articles.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine becomes the last stop on the Chronic Pain Express venturing into the unknown….a leap of faith perhaps? The good news is you don’t have to believe in acupuncture for it to be effective – it’s not a faith-based medicine.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Good question! Acupuncture stimulates the body’s own natural healing abilities. Your body has its own healing properties and acupuncture can stimulate the release of natural chemicals like endorphins or natural pain killers.

There are no major side-effects to worry about. No scary surgeries to stress over. Addiction is not a concern. Other side-effects often occurring with pain meds such as stomach ulcers and constipation are also not a concern with acupuncture.

Pain relief and relaxation are the usual effects of acupuncture when treating chronic pain.
