PAIN MANAGEMENT ACUPUNCTURE (headache, migraine, chronic pain, joint or tissue pain)

Medical acupuncture modulates pain perception by influencing the nervous system, stimulates nerves, triggering the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals. It enhances blood circulation, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery, removing waste products, reduce inflammation, and supporting the natural healing process.

Effective for migraines and headaches, acupuncture targets specific points to alleviate pain and reduce frequency and severity. Targeting trigger points, acupuncture releases muscle tension, promoting relaxation.

The insertion of thin needles at specific acupuncture points stimulates nerves and triggers the release adenosine and endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. Acupuncture enhances blood circulation to the affected areas, wich improves blood flow; brings oxygen and nutrients to tissues, transports away waste products and stimulates the healing process.

Medical acupuncture reduces inflammation, which is often a factor in chronic pain conditions and joint discomfort. By promoting better circulation and immune responses, acupuncture may help alleviate inflammation and contribute to pain relief.

Acupuncture has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the frequency and severity of migraines and headaches. By targeting specific points related to headache patterns, acupuncture may help alleviate pain and decrease the intensity and duration of migraine attacks.

Beyond pain, acupuncture regulates the body’s stress response, fostering a sense of calm and improved emotional well-being.

Treatments involve inserting sterile needles at specific points, leave the needles for 20-30minutes, sometimes using electricity or press-needles (intradermal plaster), to go home with) for extended effect and home stimulation. 

Typically, a treatment period comprises 5-10 sessions (once a week), tailored to individual needs. After a treatment period we usually recommend booster sessions every 2-6 month to keep the effect.
