When Is Acupuncture A Good Option?

Muscle and joint pain can often be addressed by a chiropractor through spinal manipulation or massage therapy. However, sometimes these types of therapy are not enough. If your pain is persistent, you may want to look into acupuncture.

Chiropractic treatment often focuses on a professional making adjustment by manipulating the skeletal system. When this fails to provide the needed pain relief, a chiropractor can turn to acupuncture.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture works by means of a series of small needles being inserted into specific points throughout the body. Your muscles and tissues are all interconnected throughout the body. This creates a different type of stimulation than regular chiropractic care. Many patients cannot tolerate the amount of pressure which regular chiropractic care entails which makes acupuncture a much better option.

Both acupuncture and chiropractic care can provide pain relief and increased flexibility in the body. Some patients also report improvement to energy levels, posture and even concentration.

Acupuncture works through stimulating a small injury in the tissue. Although this “injury” is so small that it rarely creates pain or discomforts, it is enough of an injury to signal to the brain that the location needs attention. This, in turn stimulates your immune system to respond. This procedure literally jumpstarts your body’s own healing processes.

Often when there is an injury or pain in the body the body will attempt to compensate. This procedure forces the body to heal itself.

What To Expect During Acupuncture

Many people are hesitant to try acupuncture because they are afraid that it will hurt. The same is true of chiropractic care. They are afraid that the pressure being used will leave them sore. Acupuncture is often painless. The needles which are used are very thin and can often slip into the skin without any pain at all. Your experience will be greatly influenced by your personal pain tolerance.

Before your appointment, you will have a chance to discuss your concerns.
