Eastern Medicine: Acupuncture for Pain Relief

By incorporating traditional medical care with proven, holistic practices (such as acupuncture), we are affording patients the right to the very best in pain management and rehabilitation while holding fast to our goal of offering the healthiest possible methods of pain relief. For example, acupuncture has been proven to stimulate the release of endorphins—chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers. This ancient Chinese practice also prompts the production of serotonin, another neurotransmitter that blocks pain signals and improves mood.
