Pain Management
What Is Pain Management?
Despite the advances and research for pain treatment, it remains undertreated, causing most individuals to just live with it. The lack of an appropriate pain management plan is a significant reason why individuals experiencing pain haven’t gotten a complete recovery.
A pain management plan can either be a solo one or a combination of different treatment modalities. This plan includes medications, exercises, physiotherapy, surgical procedures etc. Traditional Chinese medicine offers acupuncture for pain management.
Pain management services at Firebird Acupuncture office considers underlying medical conditions, duration, and severity of pain, relieving and aggravating factors of the pain. This critical information helps us create a suitable plan to terminate the pain.
What are the Types of Pain?
Finding out the type of pain you might be experiencing is vital for managing the condition appropriately and coming up with different treatment options.
Pain can be grouped into two major types:
- Acute pain: pain is regarded as acute when it arises suddenly and has a limited duration of less than three months: most times, this type of pain has an identifiable cause. The experience of a sudden headache or hitting your knee against a hard surface perfectly describes acute pain.
- Chronic pain: chronic pain lasts longer than the expected healing time. It usually persists beyond three months, significantly affecting life style, sleep and mood. Chronic pain varies for individuals; for some, it is present throughout the day, while for others, it intensifies at a specific time. It is usually associated with chronic medical conditions like diabetes mellitus, fibromyalgia, and osteomyelitis. Chronic pain management requires regular intake of medications and pain management acupuncture can be helpful to control pain and diminish side effects of medications.
Benefits Of Acupuncture For Pain Management
One of the best alternate therapy for pain is acupuncture. It is an ancient Traditional Chinese medicine therapy that involves installing special acupuncture needles at the affected area for better blood circulation. These tiny needles are targeted at specific acupuncture points that are located on meridians, energy pathways. Pain begins when the life force energy or Qí is disrupted, and an acupuncture treatment normalizes the flow of energy by balancing Qí and reducing pain and inflammation.
Acupuncture Therapy is proven to release pain for the following conditions:
- Arthritis
- Severe headache and migraine
- Fibromyalgia
- Menstrual cramps
- Low back pain
- Neurological pain
- Muscle pain, stiffness and spasm
- Autoimmune disorders
- Neuropathy pain
Here are some of the mechanisms of action by which acupuncture for pain works
Acupuncture stimulates the brain to release opioids that work to relieve pain. It also works to increase the production of the happy hormone – serotonin.
Acupuncture therapy also works like natural muscle relaxant
It improves blood circulation to specific acupuncture points highly concentrated with mast cells. These mast cells release anti-inflammatory mediators that fasten the healing process.
The presence of acupuncture needles creates a different sensation of relaxation and a warm feeling to distract the brain from pain signals.
