Often you have tried everything to get rid of pain. But nothing seems to help. Pain treatment can indeed be complex. Pain has many manifestations: burning, aching, tingling, or stabbing. No matter what form of pain you are experiencing, it costs a lot of energy. In addition, your experience of pain is very personal.

A Pain-Relieving Effect through Acupuncture
We can divide pain into acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain has a short duration and is caused by tissue damage, such as a wound, a muscle tear, or a pinched nerve. There is a direct logical connection to the cause. When pain symptoms persist longer or there is no clear cause, we speak of chronic pain. It can be very exhausting and sometimes make you feel hopeless.

In cases of acute pain, acupuncture treatment can have a pain-relieving effect. This is because stimulating certain acupuncture points releases pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory substances that help you experience less or no pain. Often, the treatment has a relaxing effect, reducing your perception of pain.
In the treatment of chronic pain, in addition to the aforementioned direct effect, a holistic approach associated with acupuncture is used. This means that your overall health is taken into consideration. Because the cause of chronic pain is often less clear, this approach can be very beneficial.

Acupuncture, even for chronic pain
To make a diagnosis, your acupuncturist examines the energy balance in your entire body. Disturbances in this balance provide a lot of information about your pain symptoms. This approach may also address the underlying cause of your chronic pain. The treatment aims to restore balance in your body, and you may receive additional lifestyle and nutrition advice. This equips you with tools to promote your health and better manage the pain when it resurfaces.

Time for You!
The acupuncturist takes the time for you. Every person is unique. Together, the right approach is sought, based on what you need or what you both need to alleviate the pain. Get in touch and get informed.
