Acute Pain

Acute pain is unavoidable and probably necessary for survival.
According to Chinese medicine, the preservation and strengthening of endogenous resistance will allow the individual to best cope with pain if it does occur and to prevent its perpetuation into a state of chronicity. Any noxious insult to the system, whether it is an emotional stress, an infection, physical trauma or physiological derangement, which results in disruption of normal flow and balance, must be dealt with in a timely manner. the importance of prevention is emphasised throughout the health and disease spectrum.

Acupuncture has been shown to:

Influence the central nervous system to block pain signals
Release endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers
Reduce inflammation
Improve circulation
