Acupuncture May Be Helpful for Chronic Pain: A Meta-Analysis

This article discusses the widespread problem many Americans suffer from in Chronic Pain. According to the article Chronic Pain- pain anywhere in the body lasting three to six months- affects 100 million American adults and is a top reason why adults go to the doctor and is estimated to be costing Americans $635 billion per year. Chronic Pain often leads people not to pursue active lifestyles in an effort to alleviate the pain and until recently western medicine has been at a loss for drug free approaches to treating Chronic Pain. This is changing however as acupuncture is becoming a much more viable option for millions of Americans suffering from Chronic Pain who are looking to treat the source of the problem rather than just the symptoms. For a long time western medicine dismissed acupuncture as having a placebo effect on patients and insisting that acupuncturists cited bogus studies and science but a bulk of recent research has revealed concrete evidence that acupuncture in rodents stimulates adenosine. Adenosine is a strong pain reliever produced naturally by the body. With the tests being done on rats this also rules out the placebo effect making it clear that acupuncture is a viable and drug free way to treat Chronic Pain.

We treat people for a variety of pain issues every day at Kate Ruma & Associates Acupuncture. Pain is still not well understood by modern medicine, and the usual way of treating it is to simply prescribe pain medication, which only dulls the sensation of pain, it doesn’t treat the source of it. The other option is most often surgery, which may or may not work and will permanently alter the body, sometimes resulting in motor loss. Acupuncture treats pain at its source, helping the body to correct the problem and often helping to avoid unnecessary surgeries. 80-90% of patients will become pain free or have their pain reduced to a tolerable level over the course of their therapy. If you are suffering from chronic pain please contact us, we may be able to help.
