Acupuncture is widely recognized as an effective approach for treating both acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain. It is particularly indicated for: lower back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, joint pain, sprains, muscle tension, osteoarthritis and arthritis
Physiological Effects of Acupuncture
Acupuncture activates several known pain-regulating mechanisms. These combined effects help relieve pain, restore mobility, and accelerate tissue healing:
- Promotes the release of endorphins
- Reduces local inflammation
- Stimulates blood circulation
- Relaxes contracted muscles
- Modulates the nervous system
What to Expect
Patients often experience noticeable pain relief, muscle relaxation, and improved mobility after one or a few sessions. Treatment frequency varies depending on the condition:
• Acute cases: 1 to 6 sessions (1–2 times per week)
• Chronic conditions: follow-ups to maintain long-term benefits
Dry needling
Myofascial pain syndromes, caused by trigger points in muscles and fascia, can also be effectively treated through targeted needling techniques (dry needling), releasing deep tension and restoring functional balance.
