Chronic & Musculoskeletal Pain

Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than three months. It can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life, affecting their physical, emotional, and social well-being. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including musculoskeletal issues, nerve damage, or underlying medical conditions.

Musculoskeletal pain is a type of pain that affects the muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including injuries, repetitive motions, poor posture, or overuse. The pain can be acute or chronic, and it can affect one or more areas of the body.

Musculoskeletal pain and chronic pain are often interconnected. Chronic pain can develop as a result of untreated or undertreated musculoskeletal pain, and chronic pain can exacerbate musculoskeletal pain.

When used to treat musculoskeletal pain, acupuncture can help reduce inflammation and improve circulation in the affected area. The needles stimulate the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow to the area and promoting the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers.

Acupuncture can also be effective in treating chronic pain. Chronic pain is often caused by nerve damage or underlying medical conditions and can be difficult to treat with traditional pain management techniques. Acupuncture can help by stimulating the nervous system, which can reduce pain and inflammation and promote relaxation.
