Acupuncture is a safe and proven effective treatment of chronic pain. The exact mechanism of action in biomedical terms is not fully understood, but it releases endorphins (natural painkillers), interacts with the pain signals going to the brain, reduces inflammation and triggers a healing response in the body, which leads not only to decreased pain and inflammation, but healing.

Drugs for chronic pain may leave you feeling, drugged, and they may lead to addiction, liver damage, or worse. Local injections of steroids such as cortisone shots can actually weaken the bones, ligaments, and the cartilage of the joints. These are the very tissues that you want to heal and strengthen. With such adverse effects it is only natural for you to seek another form of treatment.

Acupuncture triggers the body’s own painkillers, which are completely natural and don’t damage the body like pharmaceuticals. You may feel a mild feeling of euphoria, and other side effects may include improved quality of sleep, improved digestion, and a general feeling of well-being.

Acupuncture does not simply reduce the pain, but brings about healing of the tissues. Chronic pain comes from damage of the tissues, or perceived damage, that has not been resolved. If there is damage it can be healed, and if it is a false alarm, it can be shut off. The goal is to be pain free, for good.
