It drains their energy, disturbs their mental balance and ruins their ability to get on with normal life. It often leads to depression and the collapse of personal and workplace relationships. Where modern medicine falls short, <strong>acupuncture<\/strong> is the holistic solution that can help patients manage their chronic pain.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What is chronic pain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In medical terms, chronic pain can be defined as an unpleasant sensation or experience due to tissue that has already occurred, is ongoing or likely to occur in the near future. It outlasts the period of ill health and persists well beyond the time by which any physical damage from the trauma or sickness should have healed. In some cases, the pain stretches out indefinitely. Some common conditions of chronic pain include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>migraine, headaches, sinus issues,<\/li>\n<li>neuropathic pains, like post-herpetic neuralgia, sciatica neuritis, trigeminal neuralgia,<\/li>\n<li>neck and shoulder pain, lower back aches, sprains,<\/li>\n<li>fibromyalgia,<\/li>\n<li>abdominal pains due to menstrual cramps, interstitial cystitis, irritable bowels,<\/li>\n<li>wear and tear problems like tendinitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis,<\/li>\n<li>cancer and the side effects of chemotherapy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>What is acupuncture?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Acupuncture<\/strong> is an ancient medical practice that originated in China. It was later refined by generations of Asian practitioners and today, it enjoys popularity among chronic pain patients as a safe and effective treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, <strong>acupuncture<\/strong> consists of piercing extremely fine needles into specific points on the skin. At a time, four to ten needles may be used and they are placed on the skin for ten to thirty minutes. Under the deft fingers of the expert acupuncturists at our clinic in <strong>Columbus, OH<\/strong>, this would be quite safe and pain-free. Based on the treatment needs, our practitioner may recommend a number of such sittings. Patients can get detailed information regarding <strong>acupuncture<\/strong> by visiting our website <a href=\"http:\/\/acupunctureofcolumbus.com\/\">http:\/\/acupunctureofcolumbus.com<\/a>, and further, by booking an appointment and consulting experts in the field at our <strong>Columbus, OH<\/strong> clinic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does acupuncture help in <\/strong><strong>chronic pain syndrome (CPS) management?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to the theory of ancient Chinese medical practice, Qi, or vital life force circulates in the body through certain meridians. It is when this flow is disturbed that we fall prey to illnesses. <strong>Acupuncture<\/strong> is said to work by removing the obstacles and correcting the imbalances in the flow of Qi. In this manner, it restores our body\u2019s natural health and vigor and alleviates pain.<\/p>\n<p>Though it is difficult to explain this process in terms that Western medicine can comprehend, the efficiency and efficacy of <strong>acupuncture<\/strong> cannot be questioned. Countless number of studies prove this. Many researchers believe that <strong>acupuncture<\/strong> uses the body\u2019s own immune, endocrine and nervous systems to effect pain relief. In response to the needle piercings, when the body releases endorphins, the hormones that have the capacity reduce pain, and alters the levels of serotonin, a hormone related to mood-changes, pain disappears.<\/p>\n<p>As <strong>acupuncture<\/strong> addresses the root cause rather than just the symptoms, there are no side effects. As a cost-effective and safe alternative treatment for patients suffering from chronic pain, <strong>acupuncture<\/strong> is truly a blessing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information about how\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/acupunctureofcolumbus.com\/acupuncture\/\">acupuncture<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/acupunctureofcolumbus.com\/treatments\/\">other treatments<\/a> can help you, please contact Board Certified\u00a0Licensed Acupuncturist, <a href=\"http:\/\/acupunctureofcolumbus.com\/about-acupuncture-of-columbus\/steve-drugan-acupuncturist\/\">Steve Drugan<\/a>,B.S., L.Ac.,\u00a0at\u00a0614.218.6287 or<a href=\"http:\/\/acupunctureofcolumbus.com\/contact-us\/\"> click here<\/a>.
