The ancient art of acupuncture has been used in Asia for centuries to treat many conditions and relieve pain. It's now being used in the United States and other Western countries to ease everything from low back pain, to nerve pain (such as painful shingles rashes), to headaches, fibromyalgia, and menstrual cramps — and more.
Traditional Chinese acupuncture by activating specific areas on the patient's body. When these acupoints are fully activated, basis on their special composition of blood vessels, mast cells, sensations of soreness, numbness, fullness, or heaviness are felt by patients. This may relieve pain by brain releasing endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing chemicals, and by affecting the part of the brain that governs serotonin, a brain chemical involved with mood.
