Pain is an unpleasant sensation occurring in varying degrees of severity as a consequence of injury, disease, or emotional disorder. Each of us may feels some degree of pain in a certain period of time during our lives. Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation. It is a major symptom in many medical conditions, and can significantly interfere with a person's quality of life and general functioning. Western medical doctors usually prescribes various kinds of medications such as Vicodin, Fentanyl, OxyContin, Demerol, and Percocet, Tylenol, etc. These drugs are focused primarily on eliminating the symptom (pain) and are not focused on the primary cause of the symptoms. Most of them possess very severe side effects. For example, Tylenol can cause the liver damage owing to the generation of free radicals. Other side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, sedation, and depression with possible long-term effects of dependency.
Acupuncture treatment of pain has been used in China for over three thousand years. It is focused on the primary causes of the pain symptoms and will provide long-term benefits without the side effects.
In my clinic, pain is one of the most common complaints. I have treated many patients with various kinds of pain and have attained dramatic improvements in most of them. But acupuncture is not a panacea for any pain. It is important to find the best fit for your acupuncture treatment. Therefore, an advance call before making an appointment is always encouraged.
