Acupuncture is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative treatment for a wide variety of pain. This includes both acute and chronic, and of a musculoskeletal or neurological nature. Some of the most common symptoms that patients will seek relief from are neck, back, and neuropathy pain. Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive method of relieving pain and works by stimulating certain points on the body with needles to promote a healing response in the body. Acupuncture can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation and reduce muscular tension. Additionally, acupuncture can help to reduce pain by releasing natural pain-relieving hormones, such as endorphins.
Studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment for chronic neck and back pain in both the short-term and long-term. A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials concluded that acupuncture may be beneficial in reducing neuropathic pain. These studies demonstrate that acupuncture is a safe and effective therapy for neck, back, and neuropathic pain. Acupuncture can be used as a complementary or alternative treatment to other pain management treatments. It may also be beneficial in the holistic treatment of neck, back, and neuropathy pain.
