Acupuncture is widely used as a chronic pain relief and to cure pain some times. Some times Acupuncture can cure pain for shorter duration of time while some time it can give you permanent relief and can cure even sever pain permanently. It was discovered by ancient Chinese that insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body has therapeutic effect and many diseases and medical conditions can be treated by Acupuncture. Specifically the Acupuncture was found to be very effective in case of pain in humans. Acupuncture needles are inserted so that the needles themselves do not give much pain and sometimes the patient even does not feel that the needles have been inserted in his body.

These points where the needles were inserted were found along pathways known as channels or meridians. Through these points vital energy flows and all these points act as a communication system through which all parts of the body are interconnected.

Pain is actually the body’s warning alarm and pain must be taken seriously as it is indicating you something is wrong. If you ignore your body’s alarm then just like the fire alarm in your house, severe problems can be caused and are created.

This results the affected area of the body as it will receive far less nutrition than it should get which is very harmful as malnourishment can occur in that part. The patient will therefore feel pain and also other symptoms might occur which can be numbness , bloating, etc.

The organ damage can be identified from the meridian, and the local blockage of the meridian can affect the internal organ as well. That is why in TCM, while treating a pain condition, the doctor do not usually only focuses on just the local pain, but also works to rebalanced and harmonize the whole body.
There are more than a single reason for the blockage of meridian which can also be caused by other reasons which can be but are not limited to excessive cold, dampness, dryness of skin, fire burnt injuries. Other reasons can be range from stress , depression, anger etc which are related to emotions in human beings. It is very important to identify what exactly is the cause of the pain and which meridian is blocked. In general the treatment therefore is, relieving the stagnant blood in the body, balancing energy present in the body, nourishment of the nearby and actual tissue, ways to increase circulation to fast up healing which will result in the fast building up and healing up of the effected muscles and organs.

It has also been found that there was an enhancement in immune function of a patient after the patient undertook Acupuncture procedure. Acupuncture may actually help prevent pain by acting on the sympathetic nervous system and by stimulating the body to produce biochemical substances, such as endorphins, to help reduce pain.

Chinese herbs for pain treatment are often used according to the patient’s condition. A group of herbs are put together to enhance the power of the treatment and reduce the side effects. Herbs having analgesic properties, most of them are extremely beneficial. Herbal medicine can be used in both ways internally or externally.
