Pain? We Can Help!

Pain is a feeling triggered by the nervous system. It may be sharp or dull, off-and-on or steady, as well as localized or widespread. Pain can last for weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes, pain alerts us to injuries and illnesses that need attention. Chronic pain may be due to an ongoing condition, such as arthritis, abnormal activity in pain-sensing regions of the brain, or the cause may not be known.
To suppress pain, many take over-the-counter medications — either acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Stronger medications, including NSAIDs in higher dosages and narcotics, are available by prescription only.
Acupuncture is the first alternative to drugs for pain relief.
According to the National Health Interview Survey, 3.1 million Americans used acupuncture for pain relief in 2006. Nowdays, acupuncture is a widely known pain remedy used all over the world. Learn More About Acupuncture...
