Acupuncture has a number of benefits that make it a particularly relevant addition to the pain management process:
• Acupuncture prompts the release of both endorphins and serotonin, both of which address pain and help the body to relax.
• This ancient Chinese practice harnesses the body’s natural ability to fight pain, thereby reducing the need for painkilling medications.
• By increasing circulation and addressing the emotional aspects of pain management (which can sometimes impede healing), acupuncture helps to speed up the healing process.
